  • planning academics around personal goals and responsibilities
  • navigating campus resources
  • finding enrichment opportunities
  • exploring career options
  • managing extrenuating circumstances that may be impacting your progress
  • and more!

Schedule an appointment with us!

Appointments are offered either in-person or remote via Zoom based on the counselor's schedule.  Visit their booking pages for more information.

Please note:  appointments are only available to currently enrolled re-entry students at UC Berkeley.  If you are a prospective student, please refer to the Admissions page, view our resource guide or reach out to us with any additional questions at reentry@berkeley.edu.
