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
