Noncredit Counseling
The mission of the Noncredit Counseling department is to help students enrolled in adult basic education, noncredit English as a Second Language, citizenship, and short-term vocational skills classes to navigate the educational systems of the college from admission until students reach their educational goals.
***Currently, the Noncredit Counseling Department is going through a transitional student appointment scheduling period. Soon, we will be implementing a new student appointment scheduling system; therefore, during this transitional period, we currently encourage you to schedule your counseling appointment by directly calling our department. Sorry for the inconvenience.
