FAQ
1. What assistance can we avail from the guidance office?
The Guidance center is primarily a place where a student can seek help through consultation with guidance personnel. We provide individual and/or group counseling, as well as psychological assessment. The services aim to facilitate the growth and career development of each student taking into consideration the uniqueness of her being. Other activities include formation programs for special groups of students (e.g. International Students, Peer Facilitators, Married and/or young mothers, at-risk students, scholars and athletes). The Guidance center also provides information that are useful for integrating research and practice in the formulation and implementation of programs or policies.
2. How do we make appointment with the guidance counselors?
The Guidance counselors initiate routine interview with students at the beginning of the school year/semester. The students will receive call slips through their professors or chairpersons indicating the date, time and reason for interview. In case a student is not amenable to the schedule, she can offer an alternative date and contact details.
Students may also voluntarily walk-in when she feels the need to see her guidance counselor. The counselor can readily accommodate the student if she has no previous appointment. The secretary efficiently facilitates the schedule of counseling appointment and activities of the whole guidance team.
3. How do the guidance personnel deal with the students’ problems?
The counselors uphold the value of professionalism in handling the students. All information regarding her concerns are held in strict confidence. We respect the personhood of the student and recognize the individual giftedness and uniqueness of each person.
