Resources for you!

My role as your instructor is to help you achieve your goals. I have endeavored to make our course clear and engaging to make success attainable. I have your back every step of the way to help you meet your goals.

 There's a lot that goes into being a successful student beyond the course and assignments, though. There are many wonderful people at Chemeketa who are here to help you along your journey. If you're not certain what resources would benefit you the most, I'm happy to chat with you. I may offer to connect you to one of these resources if I sense from our communication that it would benefit you. This is just me trying to be proactive and help you.

Diversity

We are a college community enriched by the diversity of our students, staff, and community members. Each individual and group has the potential to contribute to our learning environment. Each has dignity. To diminish the dignity of one is to diminish the dignity of us all.

Advising: Community college students who seek out academic advising are more likely to meet their educational goals than those who do not. An advisor helps you develop your educational plan, select and register for classes, and prepare to transfer to a four year university. Academic advisors also help you understand college procedures and identify helpful resources. Academic advising is available for any Chemeketa student. 

Make an appointment with an academic advisor online in MyChemeketa> Services> Advising.

Counseling: Students may sometimes experience challenges with mental health or other personal difficulties that create obstacles to academic success and daily living. Counselors can also help you clarify your academic and life goals so that you can identify and enter a career pathway or college major. Chemeketa Community College Counseling Services provides crisis intervention and free short-term counseling services to currently enrolled students encountering mental health, personal, and academic challenges that could interfere with their academic progress.

Crisis Counseling

If you are in immediate crisis, our On-Call Counselor may be seen without an appointment Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm and is located in building 2, Room 115 or remote. The on-call counselor can be reached by calling 503-399-5120.

If you are experiencing a crisis when counseling services are not available, contact the Crisis Hotline (503-581-5535) or the Psychiatric Crisis Center (503-585-4949) which have qualified individuals to respond to mental health emergencies at all hours. l
