DMACC Student Handbook: Services for Students

Counseling

The College provides professional counselors to assist students in career and educational planning and in solving problems of a personal nature. Counselors help students make decisions and plan for a successful future. Counselors are available to help students choose an educational program or career direction, recommend and interpret career tests and inventories, examine mid-career options, discuss anticipated academic difficulties, and develop an appropriate course of study.

Students who experience difficulty or dissatisfaction with their curriculum are encouraged to make use of DMACC counseling services to explore options or an alternative course of action with a counselor. Counselors can also provide assistance with study skills, developing satisfying personal and social relationships, solving financial problems, and getting through a crisis.

The Student Assistance Program is available to help students with ongoing problems involving school, family, relationships, work, substance abuse, etc. Call the Student Assistance Program at 515-244-6090 to arrange a confidential visit with a counselor.
