Request an Appointment
Students:
Great News! Appointment scheduling has resumed for Winter 2024.
The first two weeks of Spring 2024 (February 12 - 23) will be drop-in counseling only,
so no appointment is needed to meet with a counselor during that time.
Students: During peak registration times, it may take our staff 1-3 weeks to respond
to your Appointment Request. If you need immediate assistance, you can call or come
in person to the Counseling Front Desk to check for possible same-day or same week
availability.
Thank you for your patience!
Steps and Tips to request an academic counseling appointment:

3. Appointments can be in person, by phone, or Zoom. So we may better assist you with scheduling an appointment, you can select more than one appointment format.
4. In addition to selecting multiple appointment formats, we recommend selecting more than one day/time that you can meet with a counselor. There is also a section where you can clarify your availability, such as your school or work schedule.
5. Get ready to plan your informative session! Have your questions ready for the counselor, and copies of transcripts/test scores/placement survey results for review, if applicable.
