Counselors and Advising Areas

Schedule an Appointment

When you meet with a counselor make sure to:

  • Know where to go and why you have scheduled an appointment with the counselor.
  • Think about or write down specific questions ahead of time.
  • Be prepared to discuss your academic goals, dreams and obstacles.
  • If possible bring in a transcript (official or unofficial) from any other colleges or universities you have attended. Also, if you are enrolling for the first time bring in your ACCUPLACER or SAT scores.
  • Plan to arrive on time because academic appointments are only 30 minutes.  If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will have to reschedule your appointment.
