Qualified professional counselors are on duty twelve months
per year to assist
students in such areas as choosing a major field of study,
vocational planning, selecting a four-year college for
transfer, job placement, and individual testing. In addition

conferences during scheduled office hours. Problems
encountered by students and suggested methods to handle
problems are as follows:
