Admission Procedures

Admission Counseling

Prior to enrollment in classes, applicants must make an appointment for an advisement interview with an admission counselor. This exploratory interview will clarify individual program requirements and provide the opportunity to answer students' questions. Counselors are available for afternoon and evening appointments on the Thousand Oaks Main Campus and at off-site Graduate Centers. If you would like advisement to design a customized certificate program, or wish to meet with an admission counselor, call (805) 493-3127 to schedule an appointment.
