Counselors | Personal Development Instructors
Counselors are here to help you get on the right path to reach your academic and career goals. Counselors can assist you with developing a Student Education Plan, Transfer Planning, Career Planning, Campus and Community Referrals, Academic Standing Counseling, and Student Success Strategies. At AHC, you are not assigned a counselor. We recommend you find a counselor you work well with. You may see any counselor, the choice is yours!
