Addressing Questions
With 800 students to support with the course request process, as well as other academic, college & career, and mental/social areas-

Check resources thoroughly:
Materials are continuously updated.
Pay close attention to all dates, deadlines, resources, and processes.

Most questions are best answered through an in-person conversation between the student and their counselor. Students with questions: visit the CCC to speak with your counselor.
