To meet with a counselor at Skyline College it is best to schedule an appointment.  Counseling appointments can be scheduled online, using WebSMART, by phone or in-person.

Regular counseling appointments are 30 minutes long.  They are appropriate for long-term educational planning, clarifying your progress toward graduation and transfer, dealing with probation or dismissal questions.

Drop-in counseling is offered only on a limited basis, for quick answers and referrals.  Drop-in counseling is not appropriate for students who need Student Educational Plans (SEP), AA/AS or Certificate evaluations, transfer evaluations or who are on academic probation or dismissal.

Unless you are part of a special program such as EOPS, DSPS, TRIO or are a Veteran, you are not assigned a counselor.  You may choose to see any counselor, and, if you wish, you may change counselors.  It is important that you feel comfortable and confident with your counselor.

Don't wait until the last minute to schedule your counseling appointment.  To plan for the fall semester, make an appointment during spring before April.  To plan for spring, make an appointment in September or early October.
