Preparing to See a Counselor

All students are encouraged to meet with a counselor for academic planning, career guidance or personal counseling in order to have a stronger understanding of their individual path at Las Positas College. Early planning also improves student success in college, and in their personal lives too! We offer several ways for students to meet with a counselor and encourage them to choose the one that fits their needs best!
