It’s highly recommended that every student review their education plan with a counselor as early as possible before or during your first semester. With the assistance of a counselor, you will select the best courses for your goals at Woodland Community College. Counselors will make recommendations and develop an educational plan to fit your academic goals.

Exempt students may not need to meet with a counselor depending on educational background or plans for study. If you meet two or more of the following criteria, you are not required to meet with a counselor:
