Couns-095 The Counseling 095, 096 & 097 courses are educational planning courses for new students. The course will cover; educational planning, overview of the higher education system in California, identification of educational and career goals, academic assessment, effective course selection, how to schedule your classes, counseling and advising and campus services. The Educational planning classes are highly recommended for all new students. In the course we will guide the student on selecting courses for hers/his first two semesters. We offer these educational planning sessions beginning in March and go all the way to August.

Counseling Follow-up How can a DVC counselor help me? A DVC counselor can help by providing students with academic, career, and personal counseling. We can help students navigate the complicated process of determining their goals and careers and what they must do to realize those goals. Counselors are not assigned to students, they can see whomever they would like. There are counselors that work with special populations. We highly encourage students to see a counselor in their first semester in order to check in on their progress and then complete a comprehensive educational plan.

Counseling Courses For new students we recommend the following counseling courses: Counseling 120 – Student Success – 3 units UC/CSU This course presents skills and strategies to succeed as a college student. Topics such as motivation and attitudes, time management, decision-making processes, goal-setting, critical thinking skills, study skills and interpersonal communication will be explored. Students will evaluate their own skills and behaviors in relation to these topics and learn strategies to make meaningful choices about their education, career and personal goals. Career 110 – Career and Life Planning- 3 units UC/CSU In this course students will learn research strategies to make effective career and major choices, using a variety of techniques to find, retrieve, and evaluate career planning information. Students will use career assessments, to identify their preferred work values, interests, skills and personality traits. Research will then focus on the exploration of labor market needs, educational and employment requirements, and career ladders within given professions resulting in an effective educational and job search plan. This course will help students develop psychological "soft skills" in the domain of human relations such as interpersonal communication, self-esteem and professional confidence, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and effective collaboration in team-building skills.
