Success Counseling

The Re-entry Student Program recognizes that coming to Berkeley later in life can present a unique set of challenges.  Our staff works with each individual student to provide support and guidance when it comes to navigating the university and preparing for life after Cal.  Some things our counselors can help you with:

  • 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.
