Counseling Welcome

Counseling Department in Student Center

Welcome!   Counseling is an essential part of San José City College and is a smart first step in getting off to a good start in college.

Highly trained and experienced counselors provide comprehensive counseling services for students and teach a variety of guidance courses.

As a new student, seeing a counselor is probably the most important thing you can do. Our counselors can:

  • help you find the right level of classes.
  • assist you in designing an educational plan to help you meet your educational goals.
  • assist you in identifying your interests, skills and abilities to help you select a major and career.
  • direct you to the many supportive services and resources awaiting you at SJCC.

The counseling faculty highly recommends that students meet with a counselor at least once a semester in order to more effectively and efficiently move toward their academic goals.

Students transferring to SJCC with units from other colleges are encouraged to make a counseling appointment for evaluation of prior course work.

To schedule an appointment, please call the Counseling Department.
