Your Commitments

As an EOP&S student, you are asked to fulfill the following responsibilities in order to continue receiving services:

  • Complete three (3) EOP&S contacts every Fall and Spring semester. Contacts can be completed in the following ways:

    • Option 2: 2 counselor + 1 success coach
    • Option 3: 2 counselor + 1 workshop

Some key notes:
    • Only one workshop and one coach meeting can count toward the 3 contacts.
    • All counselor meetings can count.
    • Contacts must be at least 7 days apart to be counted.
