UCC wants you to get the best start possible and succeed at college. Counselors will help you decide what you want to do and guide you toward accomplishment of those goals. While career planning and academic advising are the most common types of assistance, the following services are offered:
- Personal Counseling - Counselors provide help in dealing with concerns such as stress management, test anxiety, and decision making. They can also help you with any personal problems you may have or make appropriate referrals.
- Interest & Personality Assessment - All testing other than classroom tests is centralized in the Counseling Center. The Counseling Center provides testing on request for occupational interest, occupational abilities and personality preferences to help students explore occupations to select an appropriate course of study.
- Program Planning - Counselors can explain the wide range of program options available at UCC and help you select an appropriate course of study. It is helpful to make an appointment so that the counselor will be available when you visit. Stop by the Counseling Center in Campus Center or call (541) 440-4610 to make an appointment. Drop-ins are welcome for scheduling classes or concerns which require fifteen minutes or less.
- Pre-registration Advising - As a prospective student you should make arrangements with the Counseling Secretary to take the placement test. Admission materials will be completed during the placement session. New students will be helped with scheduling and registration procedures following the placement test. You will be assigned an academic advisor for assistance in your academic program. The advisor's signature is required the first two terms of attendance in order to complete registration of classes.
- Transfer Advising - Catalogs and application materials for all Oregon colleges and universities are available in the Counseling Center located in the Campus Center Building. If you are planning to transfer to a four-year institution, it is important to work closely with a counselor--or the Transfer Opportunity Program if you are a participant--to make sure your program meets the requirements of the school you plan to attend.

Placement Testing
The Counseling Center provides the placement tests in reading, math and writing skills for beginning students since all college programs require some coursework in these areas. All new students taking credit classes must take the placement exams which show you and your advisor which courses you should take first. If you are taking classes for personal interest only you will not need to take the placement test, but you won't be eligible to receive financial aid, veterans benefits or scholarships.
You cannot fail the placement tests. The results determine the level of English, math or reading at which you should begin in order to have a successful start in college.
Tests are given in the Counseling Center on a walk-in basis. Testing will be first come first serve. Advising is available after the test. NO appointment is necessary. Call (541) 440-4610 if you have questions related to the Placement Test or Advising.
Disability Accommodations
Disability related accommodations for placement tests are available upon request. Ask for assistance in the Counseling Center or call Disability Services, (541) 440-7655.
