DSPS Contact Information – Programs, Staff & Locations
Due to campus closures resulting from COVID-19 all DSPS support services have moved online temporarily.
Please see below for staff/faculty email addresses or you may email the DSPS at coa-dsps01@peralta.edu to request assistance.
DSPS Counseling appointments can be scheduled using our DSPS Online Appointment System. Students new to College of Alameda’s DSPS should apply for DSPS services prior to scheduling an appointment with a counselor.
