Faculty Director
Office of Outreach
While you won't be able to visit us in person during the 2020 fall 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@fhda.edu.
NEW: Drop-In Hours With Our Counselors
For the rest of the summer and through the first two weeks of fall quarter, we are offering special drop-in hours when new or prospective students can have a quick online chat with a counselor, via Zoom.
You don't need an appointment – just click the red button to enter the Zoom waiting room during the hours listed below. You'll be able to speak with a counselor as soon as one is free.
These sessions are only 10-15 minutes long and are not meant for completing a comprehensive educational plan, TAG application, financial aid extension, probation, or an "exceeding units" form.
Please note that due to the high volume of inquiries, there may be higher than normal wait times. Our counselors and staff will be seeing students in the order that they enter the zoom call.
