Counseling and Advisement Center

Counseling Virtual Lobbies and Individual Appointments

The Counseling and Advisement Center provides a variety of counseling services including educational planning, transfer counseling, and personal counseling to help students make informed choices.

Counselors assist with long-range planning and checking specific requirements so that students meet graduation requirements, course prerequisites, and requirements for transfer to four-year colleges or universities.

Specialty Counseling Areas

Virtual Lobbies for Specialty Counseling Areas+-

This service is provided for students who have requests in specialty counseling areas such as: pre-requisite clearances, questions about holds or current academic standing, unit increase, math/English placement questions, one semester student education plan, and general information about specific programs offered at the college. Students can meet with a counselor for up to 30 minutes. The counseling virtual lobbies are recommended for students with quick questions. If more time is needed, counselors may assist in booking a counseling appointment.

Counselors are assisting students through Zoom. Students will be placed in a "waiting room" and will be assisted in the order they join the session. Virtual lobbies for specialty counseling areas are available at the times below (listed alphabetically by counseling area).

Individual Appointment Sessions

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.
