Counseling Services

Counseling at the College is conducted through a series of optional counseling sessions available on an “as needed” basis. The sessions are designed to ensure that all students have sufficient contact with a counselor to make their progress through the instructional program successful.

The goal of the counseling program is to help each student identify and progress through a set of educational opportunities relevant to individual aptitudes, knowledge, skills and interests and offer incentives commensurate with the student’s motivation and achievement.

The objectives of counseling and tutoring services are:

To challenge students to become introspective
To encourage students to make rewarding decisions
To help students develop positive self-images
