Counseling is for everyone! All students, freshmen through seniors, can benefit from counseling or advising of some type. Counseling supports and promotes academic success, the main focus of the Special Support Services Program. In addition, counseling helps students develop overall self-confidence, as well as feelings of self-worth and purpose.
The array of Special Support Services Counseling Services includes assistance with a career, academic, or personal concern; clarification of university, school and department policies and procedures, as well as guidance regarding job search, major, or graduate school issues. Other services are individualized educational planning, group discussions, a listening ear, and lots of encouragement!
Peer mentoring is offered to freshmen. We call our peer mentors Student Success Assistants (SSAs). These highly motivated and successful sophomore- through- senior students provide excellent assistance to freshmen in adjusting to UNCG. All receive training in helping skills.
