Appointments
While many questions can be answered without an appointment, we are happy to assist you with your account or help you schedule an appointment in person, by phone, or through email during normal office hours. If your question does require an appointment, our counselors are available to meet in person, on Zoom, or by phone. We know that many families are living in uncertainty. We are here to help in any way possible.
Protect Your Personal Information
Many to-do items request documents that may have personal, identifying information on them. To protect your data when submitting documents, please keep the following in mind.
- If documents have social security numbers on them, we cannot accept them through email unless the first five numbers are redacted. Please use the provided links on your to-do items to upload tax documents and W-2s securely into our system. If your to-do item does not have an online link, please bring the document to us in person, mail it, or redact your SSN before attaching it to an email.
- Google Confidential is available through Google accounts for added security. Emails that include information of a personal nature (address, financial information, Social Security number, etc.) are recommended to utilize this feature.
- Please remember to also include your student ID number and name on submitted documents, if it is not included, so we can apply it to your profile appropriately.
- Direct fax services are being discontinued for our office. To securely submit documents to our office, please use an alternate method.
