Personal Counseling

In an effort to help students identify and remove their own barriers to success, the Student Success Center offers personal counseling services to students in need of them. These services are available to students free of charge. The purpose of these services is not to address student’ long-term counseling needs, but rather to try to help those students who have crisis situations arise in the course of their academic career -- crises which, if addressed effectively, need not (perhaps) keep students from focusing successfully on their academic goals.

Short term personal counseling may be available to students finding it difficult to focus on their college work due to family and/or other personal problems.

Referral

Primarily students refer themselves by visiting the Office of Counseling Services. On some occasions students may be referred by their instructor(s) or college advisor(s).

Eligibility

Persons making use of these services must be students currently enrolled in credit classes.

Fees

Short-term personal counseling sessions are provided free of charge to currently enrolled students.

A fee will be charged if a student fails to show (without canceling) for a scheduled counseling session.
