EOPS Counseling Meeting Dates

New Students: Initial meeting session, which combines interview and interpretation of the guided self-placement results. With counseling guidance, students identify their informed goal and major to help prepare a comprehensive student educational plan (SEP). Students will also learn about the EOPS mutual responsibility contract requirements that specify programs and services the student shall receive and the expectations of the EOPS program regarding student accomplishments. Students on probation will have additional specialized counseling and a plan of action delineated in the Probation Contract that intends to improve student’s chances of success.

Continuing Students: Assessment of the student’s academic and EOPS program standing, which includes a review of the academic record from the previous term. Review of the student’s Educational Plan to ensure it accurately reflects the most recent adjustments in the student’s goal and major.  

All Students: In-term meeting session is to insure the student is succeeding adequately, programs and services are being provided effectively, and to plan changes as needed to enhance student success. Review of the early alert academic notifications for that term, as well as Academic Work-in-Progress reports completed by instructors for students on probation. In collaboration with students, counselors prepare tailor-made recommendations and develop a course of actions for students to ensure their success.

All Students: Term-end or program exit meeting session is to assess the success of students in reaching the objective of that term and to monitor the success of the programs and services provided in meeting the student’s educational goal, i.e. transfer, degree and/or certificate, and to assist students to prepare for the next term of classes, or to make future plans if students are leaving the EOPS Program or the college.
