Advising & Student Services Center/ EOP

The College of Humanities Student Services Center/ EOP Satellite offers a wide variety of student support services to recruit, retain, and promote successful degree completion for students with declared majors in the College of Humanities. Holistic services offered include:

  • New incoming student advising for EOP freshmen and transfer students
  • Academic advisement and graduation planning for continuing students
  • Career/graduate school planning and mentoring
  • Referrals to College and University resources for academic, personal, and professional development
  • Understanding basic financial aid information
  • SSC/EOP staff also provide additional specialized services to Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) students

Mission

The Student Services Center/Educational Opportunity Program office is committed to providing services that will facilitate student success. We believe that a collaborative environment that brings together students, faculty, and staff will assist students in realizing their goals.

The primary responsibility of the College of Humanities SSC/EOP is to provide academic and non-academic support services to students who have declared majors and minors in the departments and programs housed in the College of Humanities, though any student, regardless of major, is eligible to seek and receive assistance at the Center. While the SSC/EOP strives to provide assistance to all, its paramount goal is to promote retention and graduation rates among target groups, including Educational Opportunity Program students, first-time freshmen, first-time transfer students, probationary students, and previously disqualified students.

Academic advisement is available virtually and in-person. Appointments can be requested through EAB or through this request form.

Generally, academic advisement is not mandatory as long as you remain in good academic standing. Students following an Academic Performance Agreement or on academic notice are required to complete academic advisement at least once per semester. Also, students majoring and/or minoring in certain departments may be required to meet with an academic advisor to clear a registration hold.

Students interested in finding out more information about attending CSUN should contact the Office of Student Outreach & Recruitment to meet with a Pre-Admissions Counselor.

Assist.org serves as a resource for course articulation. You can utilize the information on this site to identify transferable coursework.

Continuing students interested in academic advisement in the College of Humanities SSC/EOP should fill out this request form. Students may also schedule their academic advisement appointments through EAB.

Students will have a registration hold during the semester immediately following placement on academic notice and each fall and spring semester thereafter while on academic notice. Prior to registration, students must schedule an appointment with an advisor by completing this form. The registration hold will be removed once the student has been advised.

Academic advisement is mandatory for all first-time freshmen prior to registration. The College of Humanities Student Services Center/ EOP advises and mentors first-year students (FTF) who are admitted to the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP).

Academic advisement is mandatory prior to registration for all first-year students. The College of Humanities SSC/EOP offers academic advising and mentoring services tailored for newly admitted and continuing EOP students enrolled in majors within the College of Humanities. Specialized support services are also provided for EOP students majoring in Deaf Studies, as well as the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies and Liberal Studies.

All other FTF (first-years) should schedule their mandatory advisement sessions with the Matador Advising Hub

To ensure a smooth and successful transition to CSUN, advisement is highly recommended prior to registration for all incoming transfer students. You may schedule through EAB or/and this interest form.
