Counseling (AD/SS-103)
The faculty of the Counseling Center (in the AD/SS Building, Room 103)

education planning leading to a comprehensive education plan, and follow-
up services to complete their academic goals within a reasonable time.
A variety of services are available through the Counseling Center. These
services include but are not limited to:
•
Educational and career planning including the development of
students’ abbreviated and comprehensive education plans.
Appointments for a comprehensive education plan (formerly known

personal concerns which impact their academic life.
