Student
Services
Student
Services provides support to students in meeting
their educational and career goals
.
These
functions include admissions,
registration, records, counseling services, financial
aid,
placement, and student activities.
Academic Advising
Upon
registration for a particular program, each student is
assigned a faculty advisor in his/her major curriculum
area. During registration the student meets with the advisor
who assists in the planning of an educational program to
meet the student's goals. Students should consult regularly
with their faculty advisor to review and update their goals.
Counseling Services
Student
services include counseling provided by trained personnel.
Counseling is available to every student from pre-admission
through graduation. Counseling begins with the initial
interview and continues until the student transfers to
another institution or is placed in a job. The primary
purpose of the interview is to aid the student in making
a wise decision among choices of study to most closely
match his/her needs, interests, and abilities.
The
counseling staff is composed of the Dean of Student Services
and counselors. Students should feel free to come by the
counselor's office to discuss or explore any problem or
condition which impacts their educational program. Students
can confide in counselors with the full knowledge that
anything they say will be confidential. Counseling services
may be used on a voluntary or referral basis.
Career
Planning
Students
who are interested in determining what they want to do
with their lives and what kind of career best suits them,
or students not completely satisfied with their present
career choice may consult with the Career Planning and
Placement Center which is an extended part of Student
Services at Pamlico Community College. Services include:
testing, counseling, career information, referrals, pamphlets,
handouts, and information on current job-market trends.
Career Planning has these main goals:
- To offer individuals opportunities for personal
growth and self-development.
To offer individuals aid in realistically
planning a career.
- To offer individuals the opportunity to
learn effective job hunting skills.
