If you would like to schedule an appointment to see a counselor, please call (916) 484-8572. Please note the following:

• The Counseling Center is open Monday - Thursday 7:30a.m. until 8:00p.m. and Fridays 7:30 a.m. until 5:00p.m.
• During the regular academic year appointments can be scheduled Monday through Thursday between the hours of 7:30a.m. until 7:30p.m. Fridays are set aside for drop-in counseling and students or potential students are served on a first- come, first- served basis. During the summer, Thursdays and Fridays are set aside for drop-in counseling (please see additional information below regarding drop-in counseling).
• Appointments are scheduled two weeks in advance. Every Friday morning, an additional week of appointments is available, so call early for best choice of days and times.
• Currently appointments are not made online.

Drop-in Counseling

Drop-in counseling is available on a limited basis Monday through Thursday during non peak periods. Fridays are all drop-in counseling. During peak periods just before the start of each new semester and during the first week of each new semester all counseling services are handled on a drop-in basis during the Center's regular hours. If you prefer to see a counselor on a drop-in basis, or come on a day when only drop-in counseling is available, please keep this in mind:

• Drop-ins are handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Names are added to the "drop-in" list based on the number of counselors available. Because of this, students who arrive later in the day may or may not be accommodated.
• During peak times, the wait time to see a counselor is typically one hour or longer. Please be sure to allow sufficient wait time for your visit.
• If your name is added to the drop-in list and you are not present when your name is called, your name will be removed from the list.
