Finally, we want to remind all EOPS students that have not yet met with an EOPS Counselor at least three times during the current semester to do so in order to avoid being placed on EOPS Probation. EOPS Probation will limit the amount of services a student may receive. More importantly, these counseling contacts will ensure that students receive the maximum program benefits and services, as well as obtain information regarding important dates and deadlines. Please feel free to contact the office at 646-4247 if you have any questions or comments.
Thank you, The MPC EOPS/CARE Staff
