1. How can I find out who my Counselor is?
Each new student is assigned a Counselor in the Center for Student Success (A230) during his/her first two semesters at PCCC. After that period, students are assigned a Faculty Advisor who will work with them until they graduate. Students are informed of their counselor assignment during their College Experience class (COL 102), or are notified through the mail. Once you are assigned a Counselor, you can call 973-684-5224 for an appointment. You can talk to Counselors about anything that's confusing or upsetting you. Don't worry about asking strange questions. We're here to help. If we can't help, we'll send you to someone who can.
2. Does PCCC offer a new student orientation?
Every incoming freshman should attend the new student orientation program presented by the counseling staff. This important program provides students with the opportunity to meet other new students, learn about PCCC, and become familiar with the various resources on campus to assist them.
