Such assistance is intended to support Kennesaw State University's academic programs by offering relevant resources that facilitate the students' orientation to the university, contribute to personal development, enhance academic success, and facilitate career skills. Included in the program are opportunities to meet university personnel, understand academic program offerings, and become aware of various organizations and services available to maximize student success. In an atmosphere of confidentiality, professional counselors offer assistance to students with a variety of concerns which may include career, personal and academic counseling. Special seminars in study skills, time management, stress management, assertiveness, test-taking and other topics are conducted each quarter during the academic year.
All institutional testing is coordinated by the staff.
A team of faculty, staff and peer advisors meet with students in the CAPS Center to help students plan academic course work, choose a program of study, identify career goals, and assist new students with concerns that may arise. CAPS is part of the Kennesaw State University advisement program whereby each department within the four colleges and one school provides advisement services to students who have chosen their programs of study. This room, located within the CAPS Center, is open to all students without appointment. It houses informational material about careers, other colleges and universities and graduate schools, CLEP, and free handouts about a wide range of educational, career, and counseling information.
