Students/Student Services

Associated Students Government of Evergreen Valley College

The Associated Students Government of Evergreen Valley College (ASG), with offices located in Gullo II (G2-103), holds open meetings weekly to address issues that affect the entire student body, develops policies that impact and promote student life, and funds student-focused events and activities. Elections are held annually, and officers serve for the following academic year. Appointments for various ASEVC positions occur throughout the academic year.

Campus Tutoring Program

Tutorial services are provided to students by qualified student tutors in various academic areas. Tutors support the students’ regular instructional programs through individual and small-group tutoring. Tutoring is also provided on a drop-in basis. The Tutoring Centers have been established to provide support, motivation, and encouragement for students. To receive tutoring services, a student must register for an II 210 Supervised Tutoring section in either center. This is a noncredit course, free to students registered at Evergreen Valley College.

Students who are interested in becoming tutors should be enrolled at the college for at least six units (three of which may be at San Jose City College), have a “B” or better grade in the course that they want to tutor, successfully complete the individualized Tutor Training Seminar (II 90), and be recommended by an instructor. Tutors who complete training receive a certificate from the College Reading and Learning Association.

Child Development Center

The Evergreen Valley College Child Development Center is an on-campus laboratory school that provides a high quality, developmentally appropriate toddler and preschool program for young children, who are between the ages of 22 months to 5 years. Our teachers facilitate learning in the areas of early literacy, math, science, writing, art, music, independence, social competence, multicultural appreciation, and physical/motor skill competence while preparing children for success in kindergarten. The Evergreen Valley College Child Development Center is also a laboratory school where students in the Early Childhood Education program at SJCC conduct observations, student-teach, and receive mentorship and guidance from our excellent team of certificated teachers.

Counseling and Guidance

Academic counseling and guidance services are available to all Evergreen Valley College students and prospective students. Our counselors assist students with exploring career, educational, and personal goals. Counselors work jointly with students to develop a student educational plan (SEP) to fulfill the course requirements to meet the student’s goals. University transfer, occupational study, basic skills development, professional and personal enrichment are all included in academic counseling services.

Disabled Students Program (DSP)

Disabled Students Program (DSP) provides support services and instructional programs for students with disabilities who are attending Evergreen Valley College.
A variety of services are available including academic and vocational counseling, interpreting or captioning services (for students who are deaf), mobility assistance, provision of print materials in alternate formats (for students with visual impairments or learning disabilities), tutorial assistance, and individual adaptive assistance as needed.

Extended Opportunity Program and Services (EOP&S)

Evergreen Valley College offers Extended Opportunity Program and Services (EOP&S) to assist students in meeting the social, financial, and academic requirements of completing a college education. As a California-funded student support program, EOP&S is designed specifically for students who face financial and educational challenges. The mission of EOP&S is to provide access to financial and social support to successfully complete a program in higher education--whether a student seeks to transfer to a four-year institution, earn an associate degree or a vocational certificate.

Fastrack Student Support Services

FasTrack is a federally funded Student Support Services (SSS) TRIO program designed to assist first-generation (those whose parents did not complete college), low income, or disabled students as they prepare to obtain a two-year degree and/or transfer to a four-year university. The program provides educational planning, career planning, workshops, counseling, cultural enrichment activities, scholarships and tutoring, and referrals to on-campus and community resources.

Health Services

The Health Clinic provides a medical doctor, nurse practitioner/registered nurses, and personal counselors to assist currently enrolled students with health-related and psychological matters. Illness or accidents incurred on campus should be reported immediately to Campus Police who will contact Student Health Services. All services are completely confidential.

Transfer/Career/Work Experience Center

The Transfer/Career/Cooperative Education Work Experience Center provides transfer, career, and work experience services. This important resource center is staffed by faculty and staff that are committed to working with students on long range goals as they prepare to transition from Evergreen Valley College to a four year college institution or directly into a career field.
