Counseling Options For New & Returning Students 

 
New Student Orientation and Enrollment

As a new student, you are required to complete a New Student Orientation and have a counselor create a Student Educational Plan (SEP) based on the major you selected at the time of applying to LAVC.  This personalized SEP will include all the required prerequisite, major, general education and elective courses tailored to your academic and career goal(s).  The majors are grouped under Career-Academic Pathways (CAPs).  Within each CAP, you can explore a set of program maps that show a semester by semester path from program entry to completion.

Drop-in Session

 

If you have completed your First Semester Planning session and you still have a quick question, you may see the Welcome Center Counselor for a brief 10-minute “drop-in” session. Below are some examples of the types of appropriate questions. 

WC Drop-Ins: (The sessions are limited to 10 minutes, no appointment needed)  

  • AB 705 Placement for math and/or English  

  • Brief responses to student questions and concerns 

  • Clarification of college procedures and policies 

  • Certificate, degree, and transfer requirements (different than SEP)  

  • Course prerequisite information & clearance  

  • Course offerings and majors available 

  • Information about campus support resources and/or programs 

  • Referrals to other programs and services 

  • Transferability of LA Valley College courses to UC/CSU 

  • Updating Major in Student Portal
