Counseling & Advising

Reedley College offers counseling by Pathways. Each Pathway has a team of people who work closely together to provide you with specialized counseling and support for your major. This team includes counselors that specialize in the majors that fall in that pathway. My Success Network in Starfish will display your Pathway service based on your major. You can use that service to schedule a pathway counseling appointment.
