About Counseling Appointments
September, October, February, and March are among the best times to make an appointment. Please be aware that appointments book quickly during peak periods, such as registration and the start and end of each semester. During these times, we will have same day in-person walk-ins and callbacks available to get your questions answered.
NOTE: appointments with Farsi-speaking counselors are limited. For a Farsi-speaking counselor, please call (949) 582-4572 to arrange an appointment.
