Counseling

• Counseling Services

  Our 5 full-time and 4 part-time counselors provide Academic, Career, and Personal Counseling. Each EOPS student is unique, and we take a personal interest in serving you. We strive to get to know students on an individual basis. We develop close relationships by visiting with students at least three times each semester, including your APR.

  We update educational plans, semester worksheets and discuss educational or career goals, academic progress, and personal issues during these appointments. Make an appointment to see an EOPS counselor as soon as possible... let us know how we can help you.

  Remember, students are required to meet with an EOPS counselor a minimum of three times each semester.
