Appointments should be scheduled in advance to assure availability of staff. Same-day extended appointments cannot be guaranteed. However, brief walk-in assistance is usually available. Counseling is provided for general career development and specific concerns students may have regarding it. Groups may be formed in response to special interest needs. Both individual and group counseling sessions are treated as confidential.
