Counseling
West Valley College provides counseling services and
programs throughout the campus. All counselors
are trained to assist students through personal, academic, and career
counseling. Because we recognize that our student body is diverse
and "one size does not fit all," counselors also support
students through a variety of specialized programs. They also teach
classes in areas including career development, college success, self-assessment,
study skills, personal growth, and cross-cultural studies. Counselors
are available to see students for scheduled and drop-in appointments
during morning, afternoon, and evening hours. Each year, the counseling
department has over 20,000 student contacts!
