Student Support

We support students’ academic success with ample resources such as the library, tutoring opportunities, and technology help.

Our counselors are trained in the areas of personal, educational, and vocational/career development and are here to help you navigate your course through college.

Our support programs aim to meet you where you are to enable your education goals. We are proud to serve veterans, parents, former foster youth, students with disabilities, and formerly incarcerated and low-income people.

Your health and wellbeing are important to us. We’ll provide you with the services, education, and resources necessary to make informed choices and find the support you need.

Meet with a counselor or browse resources to find out which career path suits you or to get help with transferring to a 4-year college.

Our Welcome Centers at the Los Banos and Merced campuses are available to help new, continuing, and returning students enroll and register for classes.

The Merced campus and Los Banos campus Welcome Centers offer a wide array of students services to help new, continuing, and returning students. Our Welcome Centers aim to make your college enrollment experience go as smoothly as possible.
