Counseling
Counselors and advisors provide assistance to students in education planning, transfer preparation, career exploration, and ongoing guidance to ensure your college journey is successful. Counselors can provide personal counseling as it relates to barriers that present challenges to your academic goals.
Placement

Student Education Plan
In order to save time and money and respond to rapid changes in requirements and prerequisites, it is necessary for a student to plan out their educational objectives. Meeting with a counselor or advisor to develop a Student Education Plan should be done within your first semester at Cerro Coso.
To set up an appointment to meet with a counselor either in person or by telephone, please call your home campus.
