Counseling Department
Need help? We are here for you!
The professional counselors at Gavilan College provide academic, career, vocational, transfer, and personal counseling. We can help you choose the right classes for your major, decide on your educational goals, find your ideal career path, transfer to a 4-year college, or work through difficult personal issues.
If you have any questions or concerns about school, work, or life—come in and talk to us!
It’s easy to meet with a counselor. We generally recommend making an appointment, but you can also come by during walk-in hours or connect with the online counselor. We are located in the Student Center, in the same building as the Admissions office.
