Freddie Ward, Reporter

On Feb. 3, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the Bakersfield College counseling department will resume its Counseling Outreach Tables, according to BC counselor Jonathan Schultz.
Schultz said counselors will be available to answer general questions students may have regarding educational plans, priority registration, transfer procedures and any other quick counseling questions a student may have.
Schultz said the counseling outreach tables were created to have counselors available to answer quick, general questions students may have and to limit students from waiting in long lines in the counseling department.
He said the outreach also serves as an informational hub for other campus programs, such as the educational opportunity program, financial aid, African American Mentor Program, and other BC programs.
The counseling Outreach schedule for Spring 2016 will be 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Feb. 3 and 18, March 3 and 21, and April 5 and 18.
Schultz said he encourages students to drop by.
