Academic, Transfer, and Personal Counseling Services

EOPS counselors work with EOPS students to:
- Develop a plan of courses needed to achieve students' educational and/or career goals
- Find the right combination of courses to fit students' needs and skill levels;
- Ensure that students are on track to meet SMC graduation and certification requirements, as well as to transfer to baccalaureate institutions and/or professional schools.
