New Students
and Promise Students
If you're in your first or second quarter at De Anza, or if you're in the De Anza College Promise, you should contact the Office of Outreach for academic counseling and other assistance.
Learning Communities
Many programs and learning communities have designated counselors for their students. You can find a directory of all counseling offices on the Our Counselors webpage.
Continuing Students
or Returning Students
If you've completed two or more quarters, and you're not in a program with its own counselors, the General Counseling Center can assist you with planning and achieving your academic, career, transfer and personal goals.
Meet With a Counselor or Academic Adviser
Returning Students:
- You must reapply for admission if you didn't take classes last quarter. (You don't need to do this if you only skipped summer session.)
- Remember to declare a major (not "undecided") and select a goal of transfer, degree or certificate to get priority enrollment.
For office hours and general contact information, please visit our Office Hours and Location webpage. To speak with a counselor or academic adviser, please visit our Meet With a Counselor webpage.
Filing for Your Certificate or Degree
You can file for your degree or certificate at any time during the quarter in which you are graduating, but you must apply no later than the last day of the quarter in order for your degree or certificate to be conferred for that quarter.
