Veteran's Counseling Services

Welcome to Veterans Counseling

During the COVID-19 crisis, MiraCosta College is currently operating on a remote basis and the buildings, including Counseling Services, are not accessible at this time. Through the links below, our staff can connect you with our veterans counselors through Zoom video appointments and via traditional phone calls. We are committed to serving veterans and their dependents who are new to college or returning to continue their education.

Connect with Veterans Counseling Services

The enrollment periods are the busiest times for Counseling Services and appointments can fill up fast, so we offer same day, "first-come, first-served" sessions with a counselor; when you have time in your schedule, connect with our front staff through the live chat link and ask to be put on the Express Sessions list. Our veterans counselors will reach out to you by phone that day, but be advised that the list can fill up fast, so the earlier in the day you contact us for an Express Session, the better.

If you see that our staff are assisting students, please be patient for them to finish up and become available.
