Career Services
Career Services encourages students to take initiative, equips them with practical career skills, and raises awareness about post-graduate opportunities available. Topics such as job search strategies, personal brand statements, resume/cover letter writing, interviewing, networking, and internships are frequently discussed during personal appointments and seminars. Please e-mail CareerServices@tkc.edu to schedule an appointment.

Counseling Resources
To cope with difficult personal issues or overwhelming stress, students often benefit from professional counseling. Such assistance can aid individuals in moving more quickly toward healing and wholeness. The King’s College has established a formal agreement with Redeemer Counseling Services. Redeemer Counseling Services has professionally trained Christian counselors who provide counseling for a host of issues. Specialized therapy groups are also available.

Students are able to take advantage of Redeemer Counseling Services at significantly discounted rates. Their offices are conveniently located at 1359 Broadway (between 36th and 37th St.). Appointments may be arranged by phone (212-370-0475 extension 131), or by email (missy@redeemer.com). When making an appointment, individuals should identify themselves as a student of The King's College in order to receive the discounted rates. Visit the RCS website for more information or pick up a brochure from Student Services.

Fitness Club Membership
King’s offers a limited number of significantly reduced memberships to the New York Health and Racquet Club. Sign up for this membership is on a first-come basis.

Students not using their membership at least four times a month may have their membership terminated.

Room Reservations
Students may reserve classroom space in the lower lobby for the following purposes:

• To hold student organization meetings (must be an officially recognized campus organization)
• To hold study groups (when studying requires the group members to interact)
• To hold Bible studies or times of prayer
• Other needs that students may have for room reservations are subject to approval by the Dean of students

In order to reserve classroom space in the lower lobby the group leader must complete the online Event Registration Form.

Be advised that scheduled classes in a room take priority over any meeting. Therefore, if a group or organization’s event needs more time in a room where class is about to begin, the group or organization must vacate the room. The assignments of classrooms for scheduled classes are made by the Registrar’s office.

The Student Services Center
The Student Services Center houses the office of the Registrar and provides assistance in course selection, registration, and improving academic skills. The Center’s Peer Advisors are equipped to help students with basic needs and to provide additional resources to help students overcome difficulties in academic work. For more information, contact studentservices@tkc.edu.

Battles Library
Visitors to the Rosezella Battles Library are impressed with its distinctive lighting and beautiful furniture. This quiet setting is conducive to study and prompts one to return often.

The college’s collection of some 13,000 volumes is particularly strong in a biblical worldview and the integration of faith and learning. The library also houses educational videos and dozens of academic journals. Through the student web page, the library offers 24 hour remote access to its catalog, and local connection to full text articles via JSTOR, ProQuest, and LexisNexis as well as the Oxford English Dictionary online.

During the academic year, the Battles Library is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM midnight, Saturday from 10 AM to 10 PM, and Sunday from 2 PM to midnight. We extend our hours during midterms and finals until 2 AM Sunday through Thursday. However, during school vacations and the summer months, the library reduces its evening hours (5:30 PM Monday through Friday) and remains closed on weekends.

The Battles library also offers these helpful services: reference assistance, a computer lab, and borrowing privileges from other libraries. (Through the college’s participation in a library consortium, you can borrow books from other libraries. This process is known as Inter-Library Loan, and typically takes about a week.)

Students have access to literally millions of books, all within walking distance of the college via three New York Public Libraries: the Humanities and Social Science Research Library (5th and 42nd), the Mid Manhattan Branch Library (5th and 41st) and the Science, Business and Industry Library (Madison and 34th).

Students seeking to conduct research at other college libraries, such as the nearby CUNY Graduate School library, must first contact the librarian for assistance by email at crogers@tkc.edu, by phone at (212) 659-3612, or by stopping in during normal business hours. Access is granted on a case by case basis.
