STUDENT RESOURCES
Student Services Student Services assist students in locating desirable living accom- modations and securing part-time and/or full-time employment during non-school hours. The Student Services department provides information on services not available through the school, including, but not limited to: childcare, public transportation, and public agencies. Advising is provided by the college to assist students in solving any problems that may arise while enrolled at the college. Instructors, as well as administrative staff, are available for private advising sessions to give students the opportunity to discuss in an open manner any personal or academic concerns they may be experiencing. The college will refer students with more severe problems to facilities that are capable of dealing with more complex situations. All Sumner College students are entitled to academic advising from their Department Chair and the Director of Education. Sumner College strives to help all students prepare for an academic path that is consistent with the employment goals of the student. All students are initially scheduled for an acceptance interview with a college official. An orientation is conducted for all incoming students, and the Depart- ment Chair will schedule periodic meetings with students to discuss issues impacting their education and progress while at Sumner College. The Department Chair, Student Services, and the Director of Education are available to students as necessary.

To assist its graduates in meeting this objective, Sumner College provides students with the skills needed for finding employment, provides as- sistance in the pursuit of employment opportunities, as well as tech- niques necessary for a successful interview. While we cannot and do not guarantee employment, we will assist our graduates in securing a position in their chosen field by using all available resources. Current students and graduates may utilize career placement as- sistance from the college. There is no charge for this service. Please contact the Student Services department at Sumner College for more information. Graduates may return to Sumner and audit classes they attended while enrolled at Sumner College at no charge.
