you are unable to log in and schedule an appointment (error messages regarding an "Invalid ID")

Counseling Appointments

If you need to schedule an appointment with a counselor, there are several ways to do so. Note that many questions can be answered during drop-in counseling hours. The best time to schedule an appointment is Monday morning at 8am. Appointments often fill up within a matter of hours.

If you have attended a college outside of the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), it is your responsibility to bring a copy of your unofficial transcript with you. Note that submission of transcripts to Admissions & Records does not guarantee that the Counseling Division has access to those transcripts.

The best way to book an appointment is online. Click here.

You can also call us at (310) 233-4299, or book an appointment in person at the Student Services & Administration building.

Drop-in Counseling

Drop-in Counseling can be an excellent opportunity to meet with a counselor to discuss your classes and goals. Students are accepted first-come, first-served. Drop-in counseling often fills up quickly, so be sure to arrive early.

Note: Students who need a Student Educational Plan (SEP), Petition to graduate, Dismissal contract, veterans' paperwork, etc. should schedule an appointment.
