Welcome to the Counseling Center at Diablo Valley College. We provide academic, career, and personal counseling to students. Students can speak to Counselors through day/evening Express Counseling sessions (7-10 minutes) and schedule appointments (30 minutes). We also offer classes and workshops throughout the semester to meet the diverse interests and needs of students.
High School Seniors: if you are a graduating Senior, and you want to meet with a DVC Counselor, sign up for COUNS 095. In this Orientation Class for new college students (COUNS 095), you will meet with a counselor and plan out what classes to take for your first semester in college. Once the Fall semester begins in August 2010, you may schedule a 30 minute counseling appointment.
Tools to help you: We have added a couple of new pages to help students with their questions. We have added a Frequently Asked Questions page that is packed with useful information. We've also added a Video Library page that has instructional videos on how to use some websites like Assist.org and WebAdvisor. Check back often for updates!
Fall 2010 appointments; If you are a Fall DVC college student and you have not attended any other college/university then you may schedule your appointment on-line (through ESARS) for the Pleasant Hill Campus beginning on August 13. E-SARS will allow you to schedule counseling appointment through the counseling website.
If you have attended another college/university or need a special form filled out (VA Ed Plan, Financial Aid Maximum Time Frame, EOPS 70 Unit Ed Plan, etc.) you must come in-person or call us over the phone 925-685-1230 ext. 2276 or 2278, to schedule an Fall 2010 appointment beginning on August 13.

WebAdvisor (Registration - sign up for classes) is available for students who have attended DVC since SU99 to the Present to view their grades, transcripts, class schedule, financial aid status, account summary, etc. Students may also find out their registration dates. If you attended DVC prior to SU99 and need to view your records, you must schedule a counseling appointment or go to the Admissions and Records Office and request a copy of your transcript.
