Students are assigned to faculty advisors during the junior and senior years. Faculty advisors
assist the students in course selection and degree planning.
The College's Peer Counseling Program is designed to give the student direction through the
academic process. The Peer Counseling Unit is composed of students who are trained in the
Facilitative Counseling course in intermediate level helping skills. Students learn the positive
use of warmth, empathy and respect in establishing helping relationships with fellow students.
Upon successful completion of the Facilitative Counseling or Peer Counseling course, students are
recommended for participation as Peer Counselors. Peer Counselors are responsible for establishing
and maintaining individual contact with a designated number of students. The ratio of students
per Peer Counselor fluctuates and is based on the number of students enrolled and the number of
Peer Counselors participating.
