Transfer Center

 

 

Limited Appointments available for December. Please check your Corsair Connect for availability.

Drop-Ins for in-person and callback are always available.

Follow us on Instagram (@smcgcts) to see live wait times of the In-Person and Callback Queues.

Due to high student demand, in-person and remote counseling sign-up may close intermittently throughout the day. 

For faster counseling service, students enrolled in special programs are encouraged to seek counseling in the other programs before attempting to see a counselor in GCTS.

Transfer Services

In-Person Drop-In sessions are available and allow students to meet with a counselor in person on a first come, first served basis.  Please note that we are limiting in person visits to one person per counseling session due to covid protocol. Students with disabilities who require assistance, students who require an interpreter and underage students will be allowed one additional person in the counseling session with them.

In Person Covid Protocols: Students arriving in person for an In-Person Drop-In Session must first check in at the kiosk outside of the Student Services Center at the West Entrance facing campus. Everyone entering the building must wear a surgical, KN95 or N95 mask and keep it on the entire time that they are inside the Student Services Center.
