Counseling Services
The Counseling Center is located in the Student Services Center, Room SSC 210.
Irvine Valley College provides counseling services to help students with a variety of educational, career and personal concerns. The counseling faculty help students clarify their needs, make decisions, set goals and deal effectively with personal obstacles. The relationship between student and counselor is confidential. Students who wish to meet with a counselor for academic planning, transcript evaluation and career counseling should make an individual appointment to see a counselor. In this way, they are assured of enough time to have their questions answered and build rapport with a counselor. For information or to schedule an appointment, students may call the Counseling Center, 949-451-5319, or visit students.ivc.edu/counselingcenter.
Academic Counseling
Counselors work with students to develop a personalized academic plan. Academic counseling is an opportunity to exchange information designed to help students reach their educational and career goals. Counselors evaluate transcripts from other colleges and explore transfer options and requirements with students. If needed, counselors can assist by helping the student understand options, selecting a major, determine resources and, when necessary, identify alternatives to goals.
Career Counseling
Career counseling assists students in identifying their career interests. Counselors use a variety of assessments to help students examine their interests and personality characteristics, including values and skills classification. Counselors also provide information about the labor market and offer career/life-planning courses.
Drop-in Counseling
Drop-in counseling provides students with the opportunity to meet with a counselor on a first-come, first-served basis for answers to quick questions (10 minutes or less). Drop-in counseling is available from 8am - 7pm Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5pm Friday, and 9am to 1pm Saturday.
Personal Counseling
Personal counseling includes help with relationship problems, interpersonal communication, self-awareness, stress management, behavior change, and referral to off-campus resources. Psychological services are also available in the Health and Wellness Center.
Online Counseling
Online educational counseling, an extension of drop-in counseling, offers students an opportunity to ask counselors questions online; vist students.ivc.edu/counselingcenter.
Counseling for International Students
Specific counselors have been designated to work with international students. They work closely with the International Student Center to advise international students about the special rules regarding their course selection.
Counseling for Student-Athletes
A specific counselor has been designated to counsel student-athletes. The athletic counselor works closely with team coaches and is familiar with athletic eligibility requirements for California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Student-Athletes must have an academic plan in order to compete, and meeting with the athletic counselor is necessary to the completion of this plan. Student-athletes are encouraged to see the athletic counselor on a regular basis for career, personal, academic and athletic counseling.
Counseling for Honors Students
There is a designated honors counselor who advises students with transferring, specifically to UCLA’s Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) and UCI’s Honors-to-Honors Transfer Agreement. Students need to see the honors counselor each year to update their educational plans. Students pursuing graduate school after completion of the bachelor’s degree are encouraged to take Counseling 6 Honors (Academic, Career and Life Success) to assist them with the research and planning process of graduate schools.
