Special Accommodations Form

The goal of the Counseling Office is to help students achieve academic success and personal growth by providing the following services:

* Provides counseling in career selection.
* Career tests available by request.
* Assistance with resume writing and interview preparation.

All students who enter a public college/university must test before they can enroll in college-level classes unless they are exempt from testing (See Counselor for exemptions). Ranger College administers the Accuplacer Test which is a computerized test that has been approved by the state for testing purposes.

Ranger College provides placement services to assist students in obtaining part-time and full-time employment.

Interested students should come by the Counselor’s office located in the Golemon Library Building to fill out a Job Placement Request form so a file can be set up containing information such as job interests, skills and additional contact information. The student will then be notified as jobs become available. Current job openings are posted on a bulletin board in the Golemon Library Building, Business Building, and also at the off-campus centers.

Assistance and information are available for writing resumes, preparing for interviews, and completing employment applications.

Job information is only provided by Ranger College if the prospective employer is in full compliance with Equal Employment Opportunities guidelines. Placement services comply with all federal civil rights legislation concerning non-discriminatory employment practices including those of color, race, sex, creed, national origin, religion, marital status, age or disability.

The Counseling Office provides free, confidential counseling services to assist students in coping with the unique stress of college life.

It is the goal of Ranger College to make the educational experience of every student a successful one. In striving to accomplish this goal, Ranger College attempts to create an environment that is conducive to learning by providing multifaceted academic, personal, and professional support to students with disabilities.
