Student Services

Making an Appointment

  1. Intake Appointments (New Students Registering with DRES)
    Appointments are required for initial intakes that take approximately 1 hour. During the initial intake appointment a counselor will review your documentation, approve accommodations and suggest services you may find helpful. See the Getting Started section for more information or people seeking general information about the department.

  2. Drop in Appointments (For Students Already Registered with DRES)
    Students may drop in anytime during office hours (8:00am through 4:45pm), Monday through Friday to meet with a DRES counselor for a short consultation (a maximum of 15 minutes). Students are seen by a counselor on a first come first serve basis. During the first two weeks of each semester Drop in Appointments will be the only appointments available.

  3. Disability Management Counseling Appointments
    If more time is needed than the 15 minutes allotted to Drop in Appointments, you may schedule an appointment with a counselor. These appointments are for students already registered with DRES who want to avoid waiting or who need more than 15 minutes to consult with a counselor.

  4. Alternative Testing Appointments
    In order for students to take exams at the DRES alternative testing center, a student must complete their Faculty/Student Alternative Testing Agreement (signed by a counselor, instructor and student) seven days prior to an exam (and 14 days prior to finals week).

    Limited evening testing services are available on Wednesday’s from 4:45pm to 7:00 pm. These services are available for students taking night classes. Students who are taking on-line courses may be eligible for distance learning accommodations. Please call the office to speak to a counselor regarding distance learning accommodations.

  5. Academic Coaching Appointments (TAP)

Appointments can be made by calling (818) 677-2684 and by email at dres@csun.edu.
