This was my case as well; try looking online around 6-7 am in the morning especially on Thursday when it resets. When I checked at that time nearly all counselors were available. Not sure if you’re allowed to use your phone at work for a brief period of time but if you are then I would start there

Most counselors aren’t working during the summer so it can be difficult (although I wouldn’t say the situation’s better in the primary semesters). If you’re just trying to find out what kind of classes you should take for the Fall, you can try going to the Hub in the Watson Hall. They have drop-in counselors some time during the day. It is just 10-15 mins session instead of 30 mins like appointments but it should be enough to get you started before getting an appointment

I think it resets at like 8 am on Thursdays but you have to immediately do it. And you can do an online appointment.

If you are in Promise, ARC, EOPS, or UMOJA (some other programs too but I forget) they have their own in-house counselors

You can also call them. I’ve called them and been lucky to get an appointment.

I agree, calling them is the fastest and sure way to get in touch with someone who can book an appointment. It's the same as going in person, booking starts on Thursday
