Counselors provide SEEK students with support and guidance to help them succeed in college. All SEEK students are assigned a counselor to assist students in monitoring their academic progress and also refer them to relevant academic support services.

Counselors assist and advise students in dropping courses and changing curricula/majors, and plan courses for future semesters. They also help students to understand college and university policies and procedures.

SEEK Counselors help students do a thorough self-assessment, research specific career areas, and then choose an appropriate course of study. They help students to set goals and make career plans.

Counselors are also here to help students identify and cope with personal and family challenges, assisting them to develop skills and strategies for success in stress and time management, reducing anxieties, and solving problems throughout your academic career.

We refer students who need more intensive counseling to community mental health agencies.

What is the difference between an academic advisor and counselor?

An academic advisor discusses your degree requirements with you and recommends the courses you must take to obtain your degree in a timely manner.

Your SEEK counselor helps you develop a comprehensive educational and career plan that meets your specific needs. Your counselor also provides individual and group counseling on personal issues as needed.
