Part-time students also are encouraged to meet with an advisor periodically for academic advising.
Career Issues, which may include assessment of values, interest and abilities; defining goals and priorities; and developing decision-making skills, as well as providing access to career information resources.
Life Issues, which may include crisis intervention and assistance with life skills issues (i.e., communication skills, goal setting, time/stress management, student advocacy, and help in solving personal problems).
Human Development Classes, a selection of classes that address career, education and life issues.
