Welcome

We attempt to make education more accessible to you. Our services include initial orientations, ongoing counseling, free workshops and seminars, as well as college and community referrals and resource information.

Services are available if you answer "yes" to any of these questions:

  • Have you been thinking about entering or reentering college, but just don't know where, when, or how to begin?
  • Do you need a connection to the programs and resources that are available to you?
  • Do you want to develop or upgrade a specific job skill?
  • Would you like to increase your earnings?
  • Do you want to take classes for personal enrichment?
  • Do you wish to continue your education in order to fulfill a goal?
  • Are you seeking a career or life-style change?

Initial Orientation

Attend an in-depth orientation before you see a counselor. Held in Bertolini Student Center, this orientation provides you with vital information on a variety of important topics including admission and registration, financial aid and scholarship, career exploration, and English and math assessment. You will be introduced to information on earning an A.A. degree, the transfer process, and completion of a career certificate. These supportive, small group sessions help ensure you a successful entry into the academic arena and, eventually, completion of your educational goals.

Drop-in Orientation

Effective June 8, 2011, Drop-in Orientations for returning students are scheduled every Wednesday at 10:00 AM and 5:30 PM in Bertolini Student Center, 2nd floor, Counseling Department.

Academic, Career & Personal Counseling

It is important to stay in touch with a counselor while pursuing your educational goal. By doing so, you can be assured of a less stressful entry process and a more successful completion of your educational goals.

Counseling is available in Bertolini Student Center on the Santa Rosa Campus and Kathleen Doyle Hall on the Petaluma Campus. Our counselors provide semester-by-semester assistance in your class selection and help with career clarification. You can make an appointment with one of our counselors by calling (707) 527-4451 (Santa Rosa) or (707) 778-3914 (Petaluma).
