How We Can Serve You

Academic Advising & Registration
Counselors can address your academic concerns and answer your questions about the College’s catalog, course requirements, course substitutions and study skills. They’re also here to help you choose both your major and your courses.
Career Counseling
A Career Counselor can help you clarify your goals and make decisions about your career. Whether you need help choosing a major or planning a career change, our counselors can explain the College’s procedures, regulations and services. If you have a question and don't know where to turn, get informed––ask a counselor.
Disability Services
The College ensures equal access to all of its educational opportunities for students with disabilities in compliance with Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, 1990 and the ADA Amendments Act, 2008.
Safe Space Training
The College recognizes the diverse identities that make up our community (inclusive of students, faculty, and staff). Through this recognition and commitment to growth, the Career & Counseling Center began offering training opportunities and workshop events with an intention to foster a safer space for our students and staff by becoming allies (no matter of our own identity).
Personal Counseling
Sometimes family, work or other responsibilities can get in the way of your academic progress. At such times, it can help to talk to a counselor. The Career & Counseling Center has trained counselors available to help. If you’re looking for long-term counseling, we can refer you to outside counselors or therapists who can meet your needs.
Transfer Advising
Are you beginning your bachelor’s degree with us before transferring to a four-year institution? Make an appointment with a transfer advisor, who can help ensure a smooth transition by guiding you in selecting your transfer school and your courses.
Suicide Prevention Committee
We recognize that family, work, or other responsibilities can get in the way of a student’s academic progress and that can lead to stress, difficulties, or mental health concerns. At times, these concerns become increasingly hard to navigate and may lead to feelings of distress, thoughts of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, attempts to kill oneself, or death by suicide. The College established the Suicide Prevention Committee in 2019. This committee has created a Suicide Prevention & Mental Health Communication Plan as well as programming and events to assist with identifying supports and resources, available to all students and employees.
Many of these counseling services are also available at our other College branches. For more information, please contact The Career and Counseling Center on the Marple Campus or the Student Services office at a campus near you.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to facilitate growth and development individually and in groups through information resources. This includes assisting in the resolution of personal, career, academic and transfer questions, concerns or problems; developing and providing special services for specific groups; providing printed, computer and video information resources for self-assessment, career exploration, educational goal setting, transfer and job search. Our services are free and available on both a walk-in and scheduled basis to current students.
