You can book an appointment on MyCareer. Note: this link only becomes available to 1Ls in mid-October. If you want to make an appointment before then, you can email Debbie Ernest.

Appointments are around 1 hour long and you can book as few or as many as you need. There are typically two full time counsellors and one part time student counsellor. Appointments are in the Osgoode building. They are free and completely anonymous. You can discuss any matters with them, whether school-related or not.
