The Journal of College Counseling is published three times per year in April, July, and October and continues to be the fastest growing journal in ACA’s library. ACCA members receive the Journal as a benefit of membership. It contains practical and theory based information and research that is of great benefit to the counselor, educator, and practitioner.

Access to the Counseling Standards for Higher Education from the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS). CAS is the pre-eminent force for promoting standards in student affairs, student services, and student development programs. CAS Counseling Standards can be used by a counseling center for program & service improvement, measures of quality and effectiveness, measure impact on learning and development, design of new programs & services, institutional self-studies & preparation for accreditation or program review. ACCA members have access to the Counseling Standard which normally costs $45.00.
