ACADEMIC COUNSELING AND ADVISING

The Counseling and Advising Center has been designed to help students attain their educational goals by offering the following services:

  • Academic Advising. The staff in this office help students plan their term-by-term course schedules, establish their educational goals and choose their academic programs, meet general education requirements, transfer to 4-year colleges or universities and understand graduation requirements and the graduation petition process.
  • Educational Planning. The counseling staff guides students through the development of Student Education Plans (SEP’s), which serve as roadmaps for students seeking CR degrees or certificates. Each student’s educational plan is individualized, so that it takes into account his/her individual needs, strengths, preparation, and outside commitments while making sure that both required and elective courses are completed in a timely manner.
  • Academic Problem Solving. Advisors and counselors are trained to help students develop the strategies they may need to overcome obstacles that threaten to block the attainment of their academic/educational goals.
  • Referrals. The counseling and advising staff are skilled at making quality referrals to other departments, services and agencies if they are not in a position to meet all of the needs of the student
