Course Descriptions COLLEGE SERVICES & REGULATIONS Chandler-Gilbert Community College Catalog & Student Handbook 2018-2019 17 Counseling Services Counseling Services is a comprehensive academic and service program designed to promote student success and personal development at Chandler-Gilbert Community College. As a professional discipline, Counseling is based on values that include respecting the dignity of all people, celebrating the dimensions of personal identity that make us unique, recognizing and building on one's strengths and abilities, and empowering individuals to identify and pursue their own life goals. We appreciate that each student enters college with different life experiences, whether entering directly from high school or returning to school after years of work or military service. It is our goal to help students to overcome challenges they may be facing and help them achieve success in their academic, career, and personal goals. On the Pecos campus, Counseling Services is located in the Bradshaw Hall, room BRD101. At Williams, we are located in Bluford Hall, room BLUF141. Find us online at www.cgc.edu/counseling for information about hours, maps, and current program offerings. CPD COURSES One way in which we support students is through offering a range of Counseling & Personal Development (CPD) courses. The most popular of these courses is CPD150: Strategies for College Success, which provides students with a range of skills and knowledge to assist them in improving their academic performance, making progress with their career exploration and development process, and increasing awareness of campus resources here to support them through graduation or university transfer. Other courses we offer include Human Sexuality, Introduction to Multiculturalism, and Stress Management. CLASI WORKSHOPS In addition to teaching CPD courses, our Counseling Faculty also offer a variety of CLASI (Classroom Academic Skill Integration) workshops each semester. These interactive workshops, which can be attended in person or taken as a series of online modules, offer students the opportunity to learn about common academic challenges and techniques to overcome them. Topics offered include: Motivation & Procrastination, Time Management, Listening & Note-taking, Transition to College, and Test Anxiety. INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP COUNSELING Outside the classroom, students sometimes need additional support to manage specific concerns or issues that are hindering their best efforts to be successful. Our faculty counselors provide free, confidential counseling sessions for enrolled students. • Academic Counseling • Balancing life, work, and school demands • Study strategies and time management • Test anxiety
