Guidance Counseling Services
Guidance counseling is the process of helping students adjust from a secondary to post-secondary education environment while fostering and promoting the intellectual, emotional, social, and cultural development and well-being of individual students. By employing a variety of campus services, community services, and online resources, counselors can coordinate referrals that will provide individual students with the support and guidance needed to ensure a healthy and enriching college experience. Counselors are available at both campuses and are located at the Student Success Center.
Special Services Center
The Special Services Center offers specialized services to students with disabilities to ensure them equal access to college programs and services as mandated by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, as amended, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Under ADA, an individual with a disability is regarded as one who meets any of the following: has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has record of such impairment, or is regarded as having such impairment. The types of services provided by the Special Services Center include but are not limited to academic and testing accommodations, interpreters, note-takers, readers, scribes, auxiliary aids and equipment loans in the form of digital recorders, low vision equipment, specialized reading software, and calculators.
Students interested in requesting services must apply at the Special Services Center. Application requires submission of current documentation that supports disability; however, students who are unable to provide documentation should request to meet with the Special Services Counselor to discuss options. The Special Services Center is located in the Kazen Student Center Room 132 at the Ft. McIntosh Campus. Appointments and other services are available at the South Campus upon request.
