There are many resources and
services to help transition incoming students into Kingsborough Community
College. I recommend going to (1) the Accessibility office, (2) the Reading and
Writing Center and (3) the Office of Career Development, Transfer, New Start
and Scholarship Opportunities.
The Accessibility office helps
students with disabilities with various tasks. For example, the Accessibility
counselors helped the students with accommodations. They helped students get extended
times on a test and help other students take notes. My counselor helped make
sure that I get extra time to take my exams and helped me get a Note-taker to
take class notes. My counselor also helped me register for my classes. The
Accessibility Office will help other students with disabilities transition into
college.
The Reading and Writing Center is
another resource for incoming students. It helps the students improve their
reading and writing skills. I needed help practicing for the reading
comprehension test because I didn’t understand the reading passages. My tutor
helped me with my mistakes by checking my grammar, punctuation, spelling,
mechanics and usage. The tutor helped me make corrections to my essays. The
Reading and Writing Center can help other students to revise their essays and
to get a higher grade in their English class.
The Office of Career and
Development, Transfer, New Start and Scholarship Opportunities helps the
students apply for college transfers, jobs and scholarships. I went to see my
scholarship counselor and she helped look over my scholarship application. I
also went over my job application with my career counselor because I needed
help finding a job. This office will help students submit their applications.
