Virtual Services
Our virtual services are designed so that students can meet with our student success coaches without coming to campus or scheduling an appointment in advance. You will be connected virtually to the first available student success coach.
You will need to have downloaded the Zoom app to your smart phone/device to connect.
Note: During times of high volume, our scheduling queue may close when our capacity
to serve students admitted into the virtual lobby has been met.
What to Expect
-
After clicking on the Connect With Us button, you will be asked to choose which department you would like to sign in to.

Next, you will be asked to enter your student Valencia ID (VID). (If you don’t have a VID yet, click “Don’t have a student VID number yet” and fill in your information.)

Then, you will select the reason for your visit from the drop-down options listed.
-
From there, you will be prompted to enter your cell phone number. We can text you updates while you wait, so we highly recommend including your phone number.

Proper dress required: If you are going to use a web cam to interact with our student success coaches, it’s important that you dress appropriately — just like you would in a traditional, face-to-face meeting.
-
When connecting with our virtual services, it’s important you are able to fully engage with a student success coach. You should never connect with our virtual services when you’re driving, and we recommend you avoid accessing our virtual services when you are engaged in another activity that limits your attention during the session.
