Counseling Appointments

Whether you're planning your classes, exploring career options, preparing to transfer, or working toward graduation, we're here to help you take the next step.

Before You Schedule an Appointment

One-hour counseling appointments are intended for more in-depth needs, such as:

  • Developing a comprehensive educational plan that maps out your courses through graduation or transfer.

  • Reviewing transcripts from another college to determine how completed coursework applies toward general education and/or major requirements.

  • Exploring career interests, identifying potential career paths, and making informed decisions about your academic and professional goals.

Not sure if you need a one-hour appointment? Our Counseling Graduate Assistants (CGAs) can help you determine whether an appointment, Express Counseling, or a workshop would best meet your needs.

Scheduling an Appointment

Counseling appointments are limited right before and during the first two weeks of each term. Appointments can only be scheduled up to 16 calendar days in advance.

Don't see an available appointment? Keep checking our online scheduling system daily, especially early in the morning, as new appointments may become available.

Where can you meet with a counselor? Appointments are available in person at the Valencia and Canyon Country campuses or online. Counseling appointments are not available by phone.

If this is your first time attending college and you haven't taken classes at another college, start with an Academic Advisor. They can help you choose your first-semester classes and get started with your educational plan.
