Counseling Services

Counseling resources are provided to students in a variety of ways. Faculty members, administrators, and staff seek to be models of Christian care to all students and try to be alert to student needs.

Appointments to counsel with the vice president for student development are made through the student development office. Placement, diagnostic, and psychological testing are available to students and their families. The college maintains a campus counseling center and referral commitment with Colorado Springs Christian Counseling Services (CSCC). Students, or members of their immediate families, who are referred to CSCC may receive professional counseling services at minimal cost to the student. Arrangements may also be made for referrals to other approved clinics.

Food Service

A deli is available in the bookstore in Williamson Center. Light meal items, drinks, and snacks are available during breaks and between classes. For more information about Bookstore hours, visit the bookstore online.

Housing Services

Although the college does not provide dormitories or campus housing, a wide variety of housing is available in Colorado Springs. The student development office works with community apartment managers and homeowners in assisting students to secure housing. This office provides students a list of currently available housing in the area. Housing opportunities listed in The Gazette of Colorado Springs can be accessed on the Internet at www.gazette.com.

Bookstore

A full-service bookstore is located on the ground level of Williamson Center. The hours of operation are scheduled to serve the needs of the learning community. Furthermore, ordering books from the bookstore has never been easier; active students have complete access to both campus class and online class book lists once logged into online.nbc.edu. While there, they can add required books to the shopping cart; then, easily and securely make an online payment, charge them to their financial aid, or inform the bookstore that they will be paying by check or other means.

Employment Services

The student development office maintains a regularly updated list of job openings and principal employers of Nazarene Bible College students. Employment opportunities listed in the classified section of The Gazette of Colorado Springs can be accessed on the Internet at www.gazette.com.

Since the securing of both housing and employment is usually dependent upon the student's presence in the city, prospective students are urged to arrive at least two months before the school term begins. If possible, persons licensed in specialized fields such as plumbing, nursing, and teaching should secure Colorado certification before arrival.

Sponsorship Program

The student development office administers a sponsorship program to assist incoming local students in their transition to Colorado Springs. Current students volunteer housing for a temporary period of time for incoming students. Additionally, these volunteer students assist the incoming student and his/her family in locating shopping areas, doctors, dentists, as well as potential housing and jobs.
