Contact Counselors assess and evaluate student challenges and provide resources for improvement toward successful academic and personal outcomes. They implement interventions and strategies that enable students to manage and overcome barriers to academic and personal success. Special direct attention is provided to students who are not in good academic standing; however, counselors may also work with other students who are experiencing challenges that may affect their academic progress and success.
Plan Ahead
Students should plan ahead and take advantage of priority registration periods: March (Summer Term), April (Fall Semester) and November (Spring Semester). During these times, you may be provided more opportunities for individual appointments and additional time with a counselor. During peak registration, group sessions are offered to provide service to a larger number of students.
If this is your first time on academic probation, you are required to view the PASS Video and submit the PASS Survey prior to your meeting with a counselor.
PASS Steps To Registration
