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.
If you are a student on Academic Probation, we are here to support you! Please watch this short PASS Steps to Registration video or contact your campus counseling office (below) for instructions on how to receive advisement and registration for the current semester.
Watch PASS Steps to Registration
