Office of Outreach counselors offer comprehensive academic counseling services for

Got Questions? Visit Our Virtual Help Desk
We can help with general questions on a variety of topics. (The Help Desk is not for academic counseling.) You can speak with us on Zoom – no appointment required – during these hours:
Note: If you have specific counseling questions, such as completing an ed plan, choosing classes, getting counselors signatures, please schedule an appointment with a counselor or use our counseling drop-in service. Visit our Outreach Counselors webpage to learn how.
We'll try to see as many students as possible during these hours, on a first-come, first-served basis. If we cannot get to you or if you're having trouble connecting, please send an email to outreach@deanza.edu and be sure to include your CWID (if you have one) and a short description of your issue. Thank you in advance for your patience.
International Students
- Students planning to attend on an F-1 visa should contact the Office of International Student Programs. They will have the best information for you.

Our counselors can assist you with
- Choosing classes to reach your academic goal, such as earning a degree or certificate or transferring to a university
- Creating an educational plan
- Finding resources on campus, such as tutoring or other academic assistance
- Exploring career options
- And more!

Faculty Director
Office of Outreach
While we're operating under restrictions related to COVID-19 for the 2022 spring quarter, you can still speak with our counselors by telephone, email, or Zoom videoconferencing.
NEW STUDENTS: We recommend that you complete orientation first, before you make an appointment with a counselor. The orientation will answer many of your initial questions about classes, registration, and related topics, and fulfill your requirement for priority registration.
For general enrollment or Promise questions, please send an email to outreach@deanza.edu.
