YOU GROW HERE – Student Services
Counseling Office The Counseling office provides academic, career, transfer, and short-term personal (relative to academic progress) counseling services for both day and evening students. The college counselors are committed to maintaining an environment that is conducive to the personal, social, and intellectual development of CCBC students. Counselors share the academic advising function of course registration. Counselors meet with incoming first-semester students to interpret placement test scores and identify appropriate course selections for their academic and vocational goals. Full-time faculty also provide academic advising for course selection and areas related to their expertise. Students may find faculty advisor contact information by logging in to My CCBC and selecting the “Student” tab and then “Advisor Information.” Counseling services are provided Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. An academic advisor is available most Wednesday evenings from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Career Center The Career Center assists all registered students and alumni with career planning and all aspects of conducting a successful job search. The staff assists students by helping them to develop strategies to obtain employment. Services offered by the center include assistance with job search skills, resume writing, business etiquette, and interview techniques. The Career Center is in the upper level of the Student Services Center and has information to assist students throughout their decision-making and job-hunting activities. Resources include computer software, books, periodicals, and specialty web sites. These materials are available to conduct research, explore career options, obtain occupational descriptions, find job openings, and prepare for interviews. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Contact the office by phone at 724- 480-3413 or via email at career.services@ccbc.edu. Student Success Center The Tutor Center provides one-to-one and group academic coaching for students in a variety of subject areas. Students can also learn strategies for academic success, such as note taking, test taking, time organization, and study techniques. Additional assistance is available for students with limited English proficiency. A learning lab is located next to the Success Center. The learning lab computers and software are user- friendly and cover a wide range of subjects, including English, reading, mathematics, and MLA and APA styles. Coaching schedules vary by semester and are available in the library, online, and in This Week in Titan Life. Virtual and in-person appointments are scheduled using TutorTrac. Brainfuse is a user-friendly 24/7 online tutoring service that is free for CCBC students. There is a link to Brainfuse in each student’s Blackboard account. For more information, pick up a Brainfuse Student Guide at the Student Success Center, which is in the upper level of the Learning Resources Center.
