NOTE: Due to COVID-19, all of our counseling services will be delivered remotely via phone, webcam or email.

If you are part of a Special Program, contact your program counselor.

 

Need to meet with one of our counselors? Please choose one of the following methods:

Drop In Counseling will be unavailable during Spring Break (April 5th-9th) and resume on April 12th.

  • Most questions/concerns that do not require paperwork can be handled on drop-in.  Drop in counseling is available Monday-Friday from 8:30 to 12:30. If you log in outside of operating hours you will receive an email asking you log in again during operating hours. We are closed Saturday and Sunday. If possible please be sure you have internet access as the counselor will likely ask you to log into your account during your session.

30 Minute Appointments will be unavailable during Spring Break (April 5th-9th) and resume on April 12th.

  • More complex questions/concerns or issues that require paperwork being completed can be addressed during a 30 minute appointment.

    • Available Monday - Thursday 8:00am-6:30pm and Friday 8:00am-4:00pm. 
    • The counselor will contact you at the phone number on file at your scheduled appointment.  Please make sure your contact information is up to date on your myGav student portal.  Allow 5-10 minutes before or after your scheduled appointment time.  You can let the counselor know if you prefer to speak to them via phone or in real-time using Cranium Cafe. 

Email Counseling will be unavailable during Spring Break (April 5th-9th) and resume on April 12th.

  • If drop-in counseling or a 30-minute appointment will not work for you, you can send us your question/concern and a counselor will respond to you via email.
  • Probation & Dismissal counseling must be conducted via 30-minute appointments (preferred) or Drop-in counseling.

IMPORTANT:

  • Please be sure to include your Gavilan ID number (unless you do not have one yet) in your request and to be detailed so the counselor is able to address all elements of your questions/concerns.
  • You can expect an email response from a counselor within 48 hours. Emails sent Friday afternoon or over the weekend will be responded to the following week as weekends and holidays are observed.
