Patrick Henry College is committed to providing the best help available to our students. The school has contracted with some local professional counselors to provide on-campus counseling for students free of charge. Counselors seek to utilize their professional training to assist students in their growth and development. They offer individual counseling appointments as well as small group opportunities.

Appointments are held in offices located on the lower level of Hodel Campus Center.

Academic Success | Calling Exploration | Nurturing Discipleship

Every student is created in the image of God and entrusted with unique gifts, responsibilities, and a calling to faithful service. ASCEND refers to a group of student support services that exists to help students cultivate the wisdom, habits, and perseverance necessary to flourish in their studies, grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, and faithfully steward the gifts God has entrusted to them.

Through ASCEND, the College identifies students who may need additional support through the Early Alert process and connects them with personalized resources. Support may include individual academic coaching, either as a single session or throughout a semester, as well as one-on-one peer tutoring.

Additionally, PHC offers two courses—PHC 363 Vocation and PHC 371 Vocation Lab—that equip students to develop the personal management skills and healthy disciplines that support academic excellence, spiritual maturity, and lifelong faithfulness.
