Gavilan College Counseling Home Page Welcome to Gavilan's Counseling Department Gavilan College provides a staff of full-time professional counselors to assist students to meet educational, career and life goals by offering guidance courses and workshops in career planning, study skills, general transfer requirements and other topics. Career counseling is available to enable students to understand their values, interests, and skills and to research a variety of career options. Counseling is available to students who are uncertain about their plans for the future, who are experiencing difficulty in making appropriate decisions, or who have any other personal or social problem which is interfering with their adjustment to college.
Personal counseling is available on a short-term basis.
In addition, the counselors make appropriate referrals to many community agencies. Students may seek assistance of any counselor by scheduling an appointment at their convenience or by dropping in during day or evening hours. They are also committed to providing Gavilan students with encouragement and support toward achieving those goals. Students develop an educational plan to help them achieve their goals. Counselors provide students who plan to transfer with information about four-year college admissions and programs.
