Student Services at MSJC

Counseling

The mission of the Mt. San Jacinto College Counseling Center is to provide a strong commitment to facilitate students' intellectual, ethical, and social development. MSJC Counselors support a learning community of academic excellence, diversity and values-centered education in which students are empowered and prepared for lives of purpose, service, leadership and life-long learning. The Counseling Center promotes student success by providing quality professional counseling services that are responsive to students' individual needs including academic, career, transfer, personal, and crisis counseling.

DSPS

Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSP&S) is a student services program that assists students with disabilities in gaining maximum access to college curriculum and programs while attaining their academic, vocational and personal goals in a mainstreamed setting. Students may be referred to DSP&S by instructors, counselors, community agencies, high schools, a parent, or by self-referral. They are eligible for appropriate and reasonable accommodations and support services upon completion of an application, verification of the disability, and an intake interview in DSP&S.

Enrollment Services

The Enrollment Services Office provides numerous services to students and members of the community. General information about the college is provided. Petitions to enter class late, transcripts, credit by examination and enrollment verification are all initiated in this office. Student academic records, courses taken, units attempted, units earned, grades, grade points, graduation date and other data are maintained in this office.

EOPS

The Extended Opportunity Programs & Services (EOP&S) was established as a result of Assembly Bill 164 passed by the California Legislature in 1969 to increase the enrollment of educationally disadvantaged and low-income students on community college campuses.

Financial Aid

While Mt. San Jacinto College subscribes to and supports the philosophy that primary responsibility for funding college expenses rests with students and their families, the college recognizes that some students and/or their families have limited financial resources and are unable to meet all of the expenses associated with higher education without supplemental assistance.
