Counseling Services at DVC
It's time to register for classes again! Not sure what classes to take? Wondering if you are on the right path towards your goal? Right path in life? COUNSELING SERVICES ARE HERE!
Now is a great time to meet with a counselor to plan for the upcoming summer and fall terms. When you make an education plan with a counselor, you create a road map of classes to take each semester. This roadmap prevents you from taking unnecessary courses and can help you save time and money.
