Counseling Appointments - Counseling Department

As counselors, we are concerned with the academic success of our students and wish to provide the highest quality services as possible.

Counselor Jack Peters with student.Because transfer requirements and regulations can change from semester to semester, we feel students are best served by regular and consistent meetings with a counselor. We find that many students not only change their academic goals often but also experience some type of educational difficulties or stress, which may affect academic performance.

For these reasons, we recommend that you schedule at least two appointments per semester with a counselor so that we may review your educational and career goals as well as get to know you on a more individual basis.
