Counseling
Academic Counseling Services
Counselors provide support for students who request assistance or who may be referred for assistance by an instructor through the Technical College System of Georgia Early Alert System (TEAMS). Issues addressed by the Academic Counselor through individual sessions and workshops include Study Skills, Test Taking, Time Management, Test Anxiety, Testing Skills, Critical Thinking, Stress Management and Learning Styles. Students occasionally need help that involves career exploration and program selection, program changes, wellness, and referrals to campus and community resources.

Disability Services and Special Needs
Special assistance is provided for students with disabilities so that they have an equal opportunity to enroll and to participate in College programs and activities. Students with disabilities must self-identify each term and provide documentation of the disability to a counselor in the Counseling Center in order to receive assistance. Available services include accommodation during the admission process and modification in the instructional setting. Also, various community agencies may be contacted for additional support resources.
