Counseling Services Mission

The mission of Counseling Services is to provide academic, career, and personal counseling designed to:

  • Help students identify and attain their educational and career goals
  • Promote personal growth and development of students
  • Guide and assist students in becoming active, responsible, self-disciplined citizens
  • Foster student self-reliance in decision-making

A counselor is available to assist you with career or personal counseling needs.

Richland Community College offers individual and group counseling on a short-term basis. The purpose of short-term counseling is to focus on personal issues that may prevent a student from achieving academic success. Counselors can also help students make contact with appropriate community resources.

Counseling services are confidential within the limits of the law and offered by Richland Community College to all students, faculty, and staff. No information about you will be released without your written permission.

Counselors are professionally trained, experienced in working with students of different ages and backgrounds, good listeners, and committed to your well-being and development.
