Counseling and Disability Services

A student with a disability has the right to participate in and benefit from programs offered at the college. The Office of Counseling and Disability Services provides students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from programs and services offered at HGTC. We are dedicated to providing appropriate services and reasonable accommodations through an interactive process with students with documented disabilities, in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and other applicable regulations. 

To access services and accommodations, students must first self-identify, obtain and submit documentation of the disability, and then reach out to Counseling and Disability Services to begin the interactive process of determining and implementing reasonable accommodations. Counseling and Disability Services can be reached at disabilityservices@hgtc.edu.

Counseling services at HGTC are offered to all registered students. Staff are available to every student for assistance and guidance on career exploration, academics, and other areas of concern. Community resources are available for students needing additional support which may include housing, mental health and substance abuse, and emergency and disaster assistance. To obtain community resources or learn more about available support, please contact counseling@hgtc.edu.

Choosing or Changing Majors

Unsure about what you want to major in? Meet with one of our experienced career counselors. Through career assessment and counseling, they can help you choose a major that is congruent with your personality type, interests, and goals. They can also show you how to find out crucial information about potential occupations (e.g., projected job outlook and salary information).

Thinking about changing your major? Our counselors can help you narrow your focus and make the right choice to lead you toward your desired employment. Changing your major can affect your funding if you receive any type of financial aid including but not limited to: grants, scholarships, lottery tuition assistance, and/or Veteran's benefits. Please check with the Office of Financial Aid before changing your major.
