F-1 Zoom Express Counseling
Zoom Express Counseling is available to students on an F-1 visa and online overseas international students. What is express counseling? Express counseling is for quick questions (for example, some prerequisite waivers, unit increase requests or general transfer questions). Sessions can range depending on the student's questions and concerns.
Express Counseling is not for educational planning, transcript evaluations, or immigration
questions.
You must have an SMC student ID number and a photo ID available. Make sure your audio and video are working properly before logging into the service. If you need more than 15 minutes, you will need to submit your questions to the International Counselor.
Note: If the waiting room is full, you will not be able to join at that time. Please check back periodically as the room may reopen.
