Counseling & Student Development


Welcome to the Counseling Center!

Counselors are located throughout the campus and work primarily with certain majors; they are specialists in their academic and vocational area while providing educational planning, career development, and personal counseling.  You may meet with any counselor, but ideally meet with one who specializes in your major or field of interest.

New Students

New students will be counseled after completing the online orientation, on a walk-basis at Express Counseling, located on the second floor of the Student Center.

Continuing & Returning Students

Continuing and returning students may see a counselor prior to registration and are strongly advised to do so before the end of the semester.

  • Counseling is available during the day by appointment or walk-in (when available) in each division on campus.
  • To make your appointment, call the Counseling Center at (714) 484-7015.
  • Undecided or Undeclared students may also contact the Career Planning Center at (714) 484-7120.

Students with Previous College Experience

Students who have previous college experience should see a counselor before registration.
