PURPOSE: To provide guidelines for counselors and other staff to use in determining customer/client eligibility for various personal counseling and career information and planning, career counseling, testing services and follow-up activities. An individual's eligibility for service varies with the nature of the service requested and whether the customer/client is a student, prospective student, returning student, alumni, or  member of the community.

    2. Counselors may also provide these services to former students who are "sitting out a semester" and/or who are clearly preparing to return to the college.
    3. The department is neither staffed nor missioned to provide extended psychotherapy. Counselors will refer cases requiring treatment or services beyond the staffing capabilities of the department to appropriate community resources (public and/or private).
    4. Counselors may provide support in situations on campus that involve crisis intervention regardless of the enrollment status of the person(s) in crisis. Staff will take appropriate immediate actions and then facilitate any needed referrals and/or follow-up.
  2. CAREER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
    1. Staff may provide career development services to any enrolled student or alumni.
    2. Staff may also provide career development services to:

      3. prospective students considering application to the college who require career development services to assist them in making that decision, or
      4. middle or high school students (public or private) in appropriately supportive roles of or in collaboration with career development services being provided to them at their own schools, or
      5. by other members of the community on a case by case and space/staff available basis not excluded in items 3.a., 3.b., or 3.c. below.

      3. Career development services to persons who are receiving career development services through other privately or publicly funded organizations or agencies until or unless he/she has made a decision to apply to and enroll in the college.
