How to Schedule An Appointment

The Counseling Center provides mental health services to enrolled UCI undergraduate and graduate students. If you are looking for Academic Counseling services please reach out to your designated college advising office. 

To schedule an appointment, you can walk in to the Counseling Center during lobby hours (Fall, Winter, Spring: Monday through Friday 8:00am-4:00pm  |  Summer: Monday through Thursday 8:00am-4:00pm), located in Room 203 of the Student Services I building, call (949)824-6457 during operating hours (Monday through Friday 8:00am-5:00pm), or schedule online through My Student Chart.

It is helpful for students to understand how to seek services at the Counseling Center.  The first step is understanding the variety of services we offer and choosing the one that is right for you. To learn more about what service is right for you please go to our What Service is Right for Me page. 

For any first appointment, please be sure to arrive before the appointment at the designated check-in time to allow adequate time to complete the associated forms. If you do not allow adequate time for forms, the time you have to speak with the therapist may be reduced or your appointment may have to be rescheduled.

If your situation is an emergency or crisis, you may request to see or speak to a Crisis Care therapist. Please visit our Emergency Assistance page for more information and resources.
