Counseling Services for F-1 International Students

It is important you meet regularly with an academic counselor at CCSF throughout your studies. Academic counselors can help you come up with an education plan and determine which courses you will need to take every semester to stay on track to complete your degree. Counselors can also assist you with career planning, personal counseling needs, and transfer questions.
