Counseling and Transfer

SCC Counseling provides students with academic, career, personal, and crisis counseling necessary to successfully reach their goals. Counselors are available to help you develop an educational plan of courses needed to reach a goal of an Associate's degree, transfer to a four-year institution, or completion of a certificate; even if you’re unsure of your educational goal.

Counseling services are also offered at the Davis Center and West Sacramento Center.
