Advising and Counseling Center

Welcome to the SJC Advising & Counseling Center 

New Students

The Advising and Counseling Center is located in the Educational Services Building, also known as the "Clocktower Building." 

Fall hours are 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Friday.  

 
All new degree-seeking students must apply for admission, take the Accuplacer placement exam and meet with an advisor, register for a New Student Orientation session, and attend New Student Orientation before they may register for classes.  Students may also take the optional campus tour.  Spring semester classes begin January 11, 2010, and many class sessions are full by the middle of December.  All new students are strongly encouraged to follow these steps early so they will be ready to begin classes in January.    New students who do not attend orientation will be permitted to register on Wednesday, January 6, 2010.

Student Information

Our center is dedicated to providing the best service possible. This web page contains information about the variety of the services we offer, our referral processes, confidentiality policies, student rights and responsibilities, online depression screening, and a brief introduction to our staff. Explore our website and ask your advisor or counselor to explain any points that are not clear. 

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) many students have. If you do not find the answer you are looking for, feel free to call us or stop by and we will answer your questions to the best of our ability.

How to Use Our Services

There is no fee for our service. While many students prefer to make an appointment with an advisor or counselor, we also have times set aside for students who drop in. If you have a particular advisor or counselor you would like to see, please tell us. Occasionally, you may experience a short wait to be seen.  Walk-in waiting time becomes more common in the months of November and December as new students prepare for the spring semester.  Please give our front desk staff as much information as possible so that you can be efficiently and effectively served.  Be aware that students who have made appointments will have priority.

Mission Statement
