Counseling Services at DVC
Achieving success begins with a plan! Now is a great time to meet with a counselor to plan for the upcoming summer and fall terms. When you make an education plan with a counselor, you create a road map of classes to take each semester. This roadmap prevents you from taking unnecessary courses and can help you save time and money.
Schedule an appointment online
or at the Counseling Services front desk in the Student Services Building. New counseling appointments are released every Monday, so go online or drop by to make an appointment! Appointments fill up fast so schedule yours as soon as possible!
