Appointment or Walk-In...How Do I Decide?
The Counseling Center provides both academic advising and counseling services. Advising is available on a walk-in basis for brief academic questions; counseling is available by appointment. The following chart gives some example questions to help you decide which format fits your current needs. Remember that these are examples -- if, after checking the chart, you aren't sure which is right for you don't hesitate to call 281-618-5481 or come by room 104 in the Academic Building so that the counseling staff can help you.
| Walk-In Advising | Counseling by Appointment |
| Which classes are recommended based on my placement scores? | Are there tests I can take that will help me select a major or career? |
Could someone look at my transcript to see if I'm selecting the right courses? | How can I manage my home and school obligations more efficiently? |
| How many classes should I take if I work full-time? | How can I prevent feeling so stressed out before taking tests? |
| Which courses at NHC are transferable to the university I plan to attend? | What should I do if problems at home are interfering with my studies? |
| What is the difference between an Associate of Science degree and an Associate of Applied Science degree? | What can I do? I have a hard time concentrating and I can't seem to sleep at night. |
| What universities offer the program I want to pursue? | My classes aren't going well. Maybe college isn't for me. |
