Counseling is the key to the voluntary use of the programs and
services of the Education Center. Professional guidance counselors are available
to assist individuals in planning their educational goals. Counseling services
are also offered to family members on a space available basis.
The
counselors provide information on the many facets of the Air Force Education
Program, such as: Community College of the Air Force degrees, Air Force
Educational Leave of Absence Program, Education Deferment,GI Bill benefits, and
Airman Commissioning programs. Counselors will also provide unofficial
evaluation of transcripts, interpret interest inventory results, provide
information on financial aid, help students define their educational goals and
show them the many alternative ways to reach these goals.
Military personnel
should confer with a guidance counselor before enrolling in courses using
tuition assistance and before using VA interservice benefits. Everyone is
encouraged to see a guidance counselor prior to DANTES testing or other
examinations, and before disenrolling from a course.
Education briefings and
special workshops are available upon request.
A professional staff of
counselors, administrators and college representatives combine their skills and
knowledge to provide accurate academic and career guidance. We are dedicated to
meeting your education needs.
