Phone Appointments with a Counselor or Advisor
Please carefully read the following: If you are scheduling an appointment at least 24 hours in advance, you will receive a reminder call and have the option to choose a phone or zoom appointment. Otherwise your appointment will default to a phone call. Please be advised, phone calls coming from COD staff will appear as an unknown number.
When calling the Counseling and Advising office, please leave your name, student ID number and a phone number where you can be reached. All phone calls will be returned in the order they are received.
