Counseling

LTCC academic counselors group photo

Lake Tahoe Community College's counselors are trained to help students reach their educational and career goals by providing career and academic counseling, helping students to explore their options and select a major, and by providing students with information to meet transfer and degree or certificate requirements. They also assist students with other issues that can impact their academic performance, such as anxiety and other mental health stressors. Career counseling is also available.

All students are encouraged to meet with one of LTCC's counselors. Please bring a copy of any prior college transcripts you have with you to discuss what your next steps at LTCC could be.

Please see our FAQs webpage for more information.
