About Our Counseling Services


The Counseling Services office at each campus has counselors who can help you plan your courses, choose a career path, and prepare to transfer. They can also connect you to mental health support, including referrals to Allegheny Health Network (AHN) therapists who provide on-campus counseling. Counselors can help you research transfer schools, create a transfer plan, set career goals, use study strategies, and talk through personal concerns that may affect your academic performance or well-being.

All services are free to students.

 

 

Transfer Counseling

More than half the students at CCAC plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities to continue their education. Students should meet with a counselor to choose the college they plan to attend after CCAC and decide on a major. Counselors help students choose courses that will transfer to four-year colleges and universities. CCAC has articulation agreements with a variety of institutions to ensure the transferability of CCAC courses.

Career Counseling

Students who want to learn more about career options can schedule a career assessment appointment. Once interest and personality inventories have been completed, an evaluation is provided by a counselor, and students can begin to make appropriate educational and career plans. Contact us today to get started on a career assessment or to schedule a career appointment!

Academic Suspension

Students are required to see a counselor before registering for courses if they are on academic suspension. Counselors review the conditions of your academic suspension and explain the steps you need to take to return to good standing.
