PACE COUNSELING
To meet with a counselor, please book counseling appointments through General Counseling. All counselors can assist you, or you can look for the counselor that serves your major. On the counseling homepage, there is a list that shows the counselors assigned by major.
Note: You do not need to see a counselor before enrolling in classes. Counseling appointments are for students needing a Student Education Plan, progress check, graduation petition, etc. If you previously met with a counselor, you should have a Student Education Plan you can follow.
To book a counseling appointment:
To book a counseling appointment, you must be logged into your student portal.
Next, go to "Step 2: Schedule Your Appointment" and follow the instructions to book an appointment. You can choose "Telephone/Video" or "In-Person." After, it will take you to a log-in screen (click blue LACCD logo). Open appointments will populate. If no slots are available, the system opens new appointments at midnight Mon-Friday.

You can also use Express Counseling for quick questions and concerns; no appointment is needed. Express Counseling is available during the hours listed on their webpage.
