Expectations for all appointments
Appointments and interactions with Career Counselors are intended for educational purposes only. To ensure that we are engaging in a safe, secure, and respectful atmosphere with students, a counselor can end a counseling session at their professional discretion if a student is being disrespectful, inappropriate, or does not have proper online etiquette during virtual interactions.

Counseling appointments are scheduled in ConexEd. If you are a Chaffey College student, please select the Chaffey icon button and use your Chaffey Portal Login credentials. If you are not a Chaffey student, you can create a guest account by clicking on Guest Registration and creating an account.
