Personal and Academic Counseling
The ultimate goal of personal counseling is to help students grow in self-understanding in order to better deal with their immediate situations and attain their future goals. CCAC's counseling staff provides opportunities for confidential sharing and discussion in an atmosphere of openness and acceptance.
Students often come for counseling with academic and personal concerns around such issues as careers, loneliness, fear of failure, lack of self-confidence, anxiety, poor study habits, test anxiety, family and relationship conflict, academic probation and suspension, time management and stress.
Students are mandated to see a counselor before registering for courses if they are on suspension in order to understand the terms of suspension as well as develop a plan to meet educational goals and objectives. The Counseling Center has trained professional counselors ready and willing to help.
Transfer Counseling
If you are looking to earn a bachelor's degree, you'll find that CCAC is a great place to start. In fact, half of our students come to CCAC to complete the first two years of an affordable four-year bachelor's degree.
Starting with your first day on campus, CCAC's Transfer Services personnel will help you plan a smooth transition as you work toward your ultimate educational goals. Our counselors will help you establish early contact with your transfer college and will assist you in selecting CCAC courses that will transfer to the four-year college of your choice.
