Advising, Counseling & Career Center

Academic Advising

Academic advising helps students reach their educational goals. Normandale advisors and counselors help students explore majors, understand degree requirements, register for courses, plan for graduation and transfer, and navigate course concerns.

All degree-seeking students will be assigned to an academic advisor after initial registration, typically by academic interest or program.

Students should visit www.normandale.edu/advising for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Personal Counseling and Mental Health Services

The Advising, Counseling & Career Center provides a confidential setting where a student may discuss concerns and achieve a better understanding of themselves - their feelings, attitudes and capabilities.

• Our counselors provide a holistic approach to student development, focusing on the student’s academic, career or personal concerns. Often these problems are interrelated. Counselors can work with the student on any problem that gets in the way of their success in college.

• Our licensed clinical psychologist is able to help students with a number of concerns, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, ADHD and more. Mental health assessments, counseling, crisis intervention, consultation and referral are available to all Normandale Community College students.

Additional information and appointment scheduling are available at www.normandale.edu/counseling.
