Navigate has replaced STAR Balance
EAB Navigate is a centralized platform that connects academic and student support services into a single, streamlined experience for students, faculty, and staff. By using early alerts and progress reports, it enables proactive outreach to identify at-risk students early, provide timely support, and help keep them on track toward degree completion.
Please view our Navigate website for more information.
Incoming Student Advising
After completing New Student Orientation, new students are required to meet with a counselor for class registration assistance and ensure a smooth transition to Leeward CC.
Academic Advising
Support with choosing or changing your major, creating an educational plan to graduation and/or transfer, help navigating STAR, student success strategies, and counseling for unsatisfactory academic progress status (UAP).
Career Counseling
Counselors can guide you through the career and life planning process. Learn about your interests, abilities, goals, and values to assist you in learning about the world of work. If you are uncertain why you are in college and undecided about a major or career, we can help you gather and interpret information to assist you in your career planning.
Counseling for Personal Concerns
Safe and caring support is available for students experiencing personal concerns, for example learning challenges, time management issues, financial barriers, family and/or relationship issues, etc. Referrals to on and off-campus resources can be made if needed.
