Which of the following is a section of the ASCA Code of Ethics?

• A. Financial policies
• B. Athletics
• C. Transportation guidelines
• D. Self

Answer: (D)

The question tests how the ASCA Code of Ethics is organized and which areas it includes. The ASCA Code features a section that centers on the counselor’s own professional self—addressing self-awareness, boundaries, ongoing professional development, and how personal factors can influence ethical practice. This Self area reminds counselors to attend to their own well-being, biases, and limits so they can provide ethical, effective services to students and families. The other options—financial policies, athletics, transportation guidelines—aren’t sections within the ethics code; they belong to district operations or program logistics. So the Self section is the correct choice because it directly focuses on the counselor as a professional and how personal factors relate to ethical practice.
