You can meet with a counselor at either the Santa Rosa or Petaluma campuses. Since you are not assigned a counselor, you may choose, and, if you wish, you may change counselors. It is important that you feel comfortable and confident with your counselor.

Drop-in Counseling

• The ability to serve students on the "drop-in" list is based on the number of counselors available. Because of this, students who arrive later in the day may or may not be accommodated.
• Drop-ins are handled on a first-come, first served basis.
• During high demand 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 choose to not wait in the counseling lobby, you must check back frequently. If you are not present when your name is called, you will be removed from the drop-in list.
