Services we offer:

Academic counseling for transfer and occupational programs. By working with a counselor, students can develop an education plan to reach occupational or transfer goals.

Students intending to transfer can obtain an academic plan that will include admission and general education requirements, as well as courses to best prepare them for their major.
