Counseling Complex 434-4452
The Latino Center offers students a support network of comprehensive bilingual services that include:
• Academic, career, and personal counseling;
• Financial aid and scholarship information; and
• Transfer planning.
The Latino Center also offers the Adelante Program, a success-oriented program focusing on academic achievement, transfer, cultural awareness, and personal growth. The program offers courses each semester in various subjects—including English, history, and math—and courses are structured to include Latino perspectives and contributions to the subject at hand. Adelante courses highlight the Latino culture and experience and emphasize the verbal, written, and critical thinking skills essential to college success. Most Adelante courses transfer to the UC and CSU systems. Applications for the Adelante Program are available in the Latino Center. For more information, please see the “Planning Guides & Special Programs” section of this Schedule of Classes, visit the Adelante Program website, or call the Latino Center.
