Do you need to speak to a counselor about a four-year academic plan or choosing the right classes? Are you worried about your academics and are you wondering what you can do to improve your grades?
EOP Academic Counselors are available by appointment to meet individually with students to discuss personal and academic issues. They can connect students with appropriate resources, as well as counsel students with their personal issues that may be negatively effecting student's academic success.

Don't have time to see a counselor during the day?
Advising Night is a good opportunity for students to get advised from EOP counselors and peer advisers as well as college preceptors and department advisers. Students come to this event for "drop-in" advising with any available counselors and advisers. In addition to this, the academic support services also hosts various workshops.

"We take the kaleidoscope of our student's life, and offer a clear picture, even if it takes their whole career at UCSC." - Peggy Rose, 2005
