Academic Advising

Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who provides academic guidance as well as supportive care during the student’s time at Southwestern. Even though assistance is provided for academic planning, students must be aware that they are ultimately responsible for staying on track with the academic program so that graduation requirements will be met.

Counseling Center

The Southwestern College Counseling Center is located on campus in Student Apartment 201. Appointments may be made by calling the confidential phone number which directly connects the student with the counselor(s) or their confidential voicemail or by e-mailing the counseling center.

Hours of operation will vary according to the availability of the counselor and the client. Morning, afternoon and evening appointments may be available.

The Counseling Center will serve Southwestern's student body, faculty and staff through the provision of individual, couple, family and group counseling services. Graduate interns serving as counselors in the Counseling Center will have completed the prerequisite coursework required by an accredited graduate program in counseling, marriage and family therapy, psychology, social work, or other related behavioral health field. The interns will be currently enrolled in an accredited graduate program and participation in the internship will be in partial fulfillment of graduation requirements of the program. The intern(s) will serve under the supervision of state licensed Southwestern College faculty.
