The Johnson County Community College has decentralized counseling services in which counselors are located in the office areas of the various divisions rather than in a separate counseling office. Counselors are recruited with backgrounds in the specific program areas for which they will be responsible. The counseling program emphasizes referral to other community agencies rather than duplicating community services at the college. The key ingredient in the program is an online system in which the counselor has full-time access to a computer where all the demographic, transcript, course and program information is stored. During a conference, the student and counselor can enter the courses chosen into the computer system. At the end of the interview, the counselor touches the"send" button and the courses chosen are stored by the computer. During registration, the computer makes checks for time conflicts, pre- or co-requisites, and class capacity. Grade reports are also done by computer. This system is particularly useful in a multi-campus college. (KM)
