Student affairs professionals provide a comprehensive array of support services to help you achieve goals that are essential to your academic, career and personal development.

The Counseling Center offers students a broad range of services designed to develop skills that will increase one’s chances for academic success.

In addition to general counseling services such as educational planning, career exploration and personal counseling, the center provides seminars, workshops and support groups for targeted student populations. The center also provides crisis counseling and stress management training. Special help is available for students on academic probation. Counseling Center faculty and professional staff provide detailed information about college policies, procedures and services.

Students can be referred to other college offices or to community resources if additional assistance is needed, and can visit the center in person, with or without an appointment.
