  and prerequisites for institutions and occupations makes continuing guidance a necessary part of a student’s academic life. All students are encouraged to define their educational objectives and design a plan to reach them.

These services and career materials are located in the Counseling Department in the Student Services Building. Counselors also provide students with assistance in adjusting
  to college, advice on improving study skills, and assistance with personal matters. For more information, call (831) 646-4020.
