Request an Appointment

Students: Plan your future semesters early, don't wait! During peak registration times, the form will close down temporarily due to the increase in demand for appointments.

Off-Peak Time Assistance: If you need immediate assistance, you can call or come in person to the Counseling Front Desk to schedule for possible same-day or same week availability. We schedule appointments up to one week in advance. Thank you for your patience!
