Faculty may refer students to counseling as needed.  The Student Assistance Program is available to those who need long-term and/or intensive counseling.

Additionally, national and local hotline numbers are posted on the Counseling Services website.

The Parents for Higher Education (PFHE) Grant (for child care assistance) is available to qualified students who are single heads of households and/or displaced homemakers.  The PFHE grant also provides enrichment activities for students who are recipients of the program.

The Career Center provides assistance and information about choosing a program, exploring job interests, learning about job requirements and salaries, and selecting a career. Various diagnostic inventories are available to assist students in identifying career interests and goals.  This office also disseminates information on career opportunities through newsletters, Chat and Chew, and ACA classes.

Student support programs are assessed for effectiveness by the Graduate and Current Student Satisfaction Surveys. Each area completes an annual assessment that outlines measured goals and outcomes. The results of these surveys and annual assessment are used to improve upcoming student support activities and processes in student services.  The findings are also used for planning the student services retreat after registration.  The Registration Guide is a product of the last three Student Services Retreats.
