Please review our tips to maximize your time spent with a counselor:

1. Prepare your questions and goals for your Counselor. Refer to “Questions to Ask During Your Completion Counseling Appointment”.
2. Submit official transcripts and other credits to LBCC Admissions & Records for evaluation. Inform your Counselor in your meeting, as well.
3. Review resources and seek answers prior to your meeting. Make a list of questions you still have so your Counselor can answer these in your session.
4. Be ready at least 10 minutes before your appointment. If you can’t attend or need to reschedule, contact us ASAP.
5. Share your progress and any academic or personal challenges that you may be experiencing. Your Counselor can make referrals if needed.
6. Participate and be engaged in the conversation with your Counselor. Ask clarifying questions and take notes so you can refer back to them later.
7. Remember, your Counselor is a guide and resource, but this is your journey and you make the decisions affecting your progress.
