Counseling
Welcome to the Counseling Department!
The Counseling Department provides students with guidance to support their goals. Counselors work with students to complete an orientation, assessment, and develop an educational plan. All services are free!
Academic Counseling
Counselors can assist you in planning your educational goals. We check your options to learn which Continuing Education program is right for you.
Are you ready to take classes but not sure how to begin? Our counseling team will work with you! Develop an educational plan to take classes and reach your goals.
This plan outlines the courses and assessments you need to take to reach a specific goal each semester.
Who should get an educational plan?
This plan is beneficial to every student that has academic goals. Students in all
of our programs (English, High School, College Prep, Career Education, etc.) can benefit
from an educational plan.
How much does the plan cost?
This service is 100% free.
What do I need when I speak with a counselor?
You don't need to bring anything to meet with a counselor. However, if you plan to
enter our High School Diploma Program, bring your transcripts. Previous High School
transcripts will help to develop the best plan. You can order official transcripts
through Parchment: http://exchange.parchment.com/
Transcripts ordered through Parchment need to be prepared for: Santa Ana College-Centennial Education Center. Students can also request transcripts from the last high school or school district attended by contacting their school offices.
