CAS GUIDANCE CENTER
OUR SERVICES
Orientation
This service is conducted to familiarize the students not only with the physical set-up of the school but also
with the mission-vision, policies, rules and regulations, different academic programs, and support services to facilitate
easy adjustment.
Likewise, the Center gives orientation on the different guidance services during the CAS Faculty Orientation held usually
before the start of classes in the first semester. This will facilitate cooperation and better working relationship with
the faculty in addressing students’ needs and concerns.
Individual Inventory
This service endeavors to gather, maintain, and update all pertinent information about students’ personal and
family background, results of psychological tests, counseling record, academic and career concerns in a cumulative folder.
These data are helpful for the counselors in understanding the students more fully, thus enabling them to effectively
deliver the guidance services.
