Dean’s Welcome Message

Welcome Chabot Students

As a first-generation college student to now your Dean of Special Programs and Services, please know I am here to support you through your educational journey!  Our dedicated team members will help you navigate your college path to a certificate, degree, and/or transfer to a 4-year university.    

We understand you have work, family, and personal challenges that make staying focused while in college difficult.  Please explore our website to learn about the resources and learning communities that are available to you! We have seven learning communities that focus on transfer and your area of interest. Each learning community specializes in providing packaged transferable classes, individualized counseling, and building community. Our resource programs provide money for school, individualized counseling, school supplies, and more. Please fill out the Special Programs Interest Form to help our programs determine which learning communities and resource programs are best for you! 

Let’s go Gladiators!
