The Counseling Center (W2-2) offers Drop-In counseling services to students who need quick answers or help with immediate concerns. Students without an appointment can see a counselor on a first come, first served basis for a brief (fifteen minutes) session. Students who need more time with a counselor can arrange an appointment for an individual, private counseling session. Appointments can be made at the reception desk in room W2-2, or by calling 751-8169.

In addition, the Counseling Department has developed courses to teach students those skills needed in career and life decision-making as well as college survival techniques.
