COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update and Counseling Appointments
The Coastline College Counseling department is modifying services in order to keep students and faculty safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. While in-person appointments are currently unavailable, our Counselors want you to know that we are still available to meet with students at a distance. We are currently offering counseling appointments online or over the phone.
- Online: We strongly encourage students to use the online counseling option, which allows for the student to view the counselor's screen while creating educational plans and allows the student and counselor to access necessary documents in real time! A student will at a minimum need access to a microphone. A webcam is also recommended, but not required, though we do love to see our students. Online appointments can be completed using a mobile app.
- Phone: Alternatively, phone appointments are still available if that is the student's preference.
Please let the scheduler know your preference (online or phone) at the time you schedule your appointment.
Scheduling an Appointment
You can schedule a counseling appointment by emailing counselingdept@coastline.edu or by calling 714.241.6162. Please include your student ID number, as well as the days and times that work best for you.
Virtual Drop-In Counseling
Virtual drop-in counseling is available for students who have quick questions they need answered by a counselor. Drop-ins are no longer than 10 minutes and are conducted on a first-come-first-served basis through Cranium Cafe. For availability, please reference the drop-in hours as listed on the Counselor's Cranium Café Cards below. Please note, a Student Educational Plan (SEP) cannot be created during a drop-in appointment.
