Counseling
Planning a Study List
A counselor will help you plan your study list. A study list is a list of courses you are eligible to take each semester that will lead you toward the completion of your educational goal. It is important to make an appointment with a counselor early each semester to choose the classes you would like for the next semester.
Discuss goals
To succeed at Glendale Community College, you need to have clear educational goals. These can be either long-term goals (2 to 4 years) or short-term goals (4 months to a year). See a counselor if you need help with this. If you are undecided about your goals, see a counselor in the Career Center.
Set up Student Education Plan (SEP)
A counselor will help you plan your SEP. An SEP is an outline of all your general education, major, prerequisite and elective classes necessary for your educational goal.
