If the counseling virtual lobbies reach capacity, you may not be able to join the Zoom session. Please call the Counseling and Advisement Center at (626) 914-8530 for assistance.

​​​Students meet with a counselor or advisor during an individual appointment session. Services include academic and transfer counseling, creating a student education plan (SEP), graduation checks, and checking requirements for transfer to a four-year university.

Appointments through the Counseling and Advisement Center are recommended for students who have declared a course of study (major) on the Citrus College application or via the student portal. If you have not chosen a major or would like assistance in choosing a major, please schedule an appointment with a career counselor in the Career/Transfer Center.

Official high school and college transcripts must be on file or brought to the appointment (if applicable).

Prerequisites can be cleared with an unofficial transcript so long as a grade of "C" or better is posted. Students are encouraged to fill-out and submit the online prerequisite clearance form.

To schedule an appointment, please use the online appointment scheduler or call the Counseling and Advisement Center at (626) 914-8530.
