Assigned Counselors

EOPS/CARE students are assigned to a dedicated EOPS counselor based on the last two digits of their student ID number. EOPS counselors help students to develop an educational plan that lists the courses they must take to reach their educational objectives. Our counselors are available to offer support with personal difficulties that may prevent students from succeeding in school as well as referrals to campus and community services that students may need.

Book Credit

Our program offers Book Credits to qualified students each semester to help cover the cost of textbooks. Students may utilize the book credit to help pay for textbooks, USB drives, thesauruses, and dictionaries in the 91少女 bookstore. Students must adhere to the Book Credit Policy to maintain eligibility.
