The Advising Resource Center/EOP exists to provide extensive holistic services to Educational Opportunity Program students and Exploratory (formerly undecided or undeclared) students in their first two years of matriculation (0-59 units) at the University, or until they declare a major.

• By providing personal support during each student’s transition to a college.
• By providing appropriate referrals to students.
• By promoting, guiding and supporting the overall academic, personal and career development of EOP and Exploratory (formerly undecided or undeclared) students.
