| The Counseling
Department at West Los Angeles College
assists students in making decisions regarding educational,
career, and personal concerns. Counseling is available
for
educational, transfer and career exploration. These
services
are provided by professional counselors through individual
counseling, workshops and referrals to resources on
and
off campus.
The primary goal of the Counseling Center is to provide
opportunities for students to clarify their values and
goals,
to make decisions, to develop self-confidence, self-direction
and self-esteem.
An academic counseling session begins with educational
goal-setting, exploring education options and opportunities,
evaluating the student’s educational background,
and
providing the student with clear, concise, up-to-date
educational information. Counselors can assist individuals
to assess their interests, strengths, abilities, and
values;
to set goals; to make plans to accomplish those goals;
and to address personal problems or barriers that impede
plans to fulfilling those educational goals.
A counseling session will also assist individuals in
selecting
of appropriate programs of study relative to their chosen
objectives. Individual student/counselor conferences
are
available by appointment. Counseling is available on
a
walk-in basis during Registration only.
Entering (first year) students are encouraged to enroll
in
Personal Development courses (PD 4, 5, 8, 15, or 17).
These courses are designed to help students become
better acquainted with the educational opportunities
at
West Los Angeles College, and will assist students in
developing programs of study that will help them attain
their educational goals.
The Counseling Center is open 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Monday through Wednesday, and 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
on Thursday, and closed on Friday and Saturday during
a
regular semester. Students can obtain additional information
by calling (310) 287-4399, or by visiting the West Los
Angeles
College website at (www.wlac.edu). The Counseling Center
is located in the Student Entry Center, Bldg. A-13.
