Academic and Career Advising
Advisors at Yavapai College are here to help you identify and clarify your life and career goals and construct an educational plan to reach those goals. Advisors can assist students in adjusting to college life, provide study skills, and provide information and resources about careers, majors, and degree requirements.
Advisors assist students in connecting their personal interests, abilities, values, life goals, career goals, occupational goals, and educational goals to academic and career fields they may be considering. Advisors can provide you with resources on self-assessment, career exploration, decision making, and an appropriate course of study. Advisors provide support during your entire college experience.

Counseling Services
Students sometimes find it difficult adjusting to being in college, whether they are a commuter or residence hall student. When problems arise, it is difficult to concentrate on academic goals. Students who experience these challenges are encouraged to talk with a personal counselor, who will listen, suggest problem-solving strategies, and make referrals to community mental health professionals and other community services as needed. Please call to connect to a personal counselor: 928-776-2106 in the Prescott area or 928-634-6510 in the Verde Valley area.
