Students are selected for the program by a committee comprised of EOPS Counselors and the EOPS/CARE Specialist with the Dean of Special Services participating on an “as needed” basis. Eligibility is based upon the criteria outlined in Title 5, Sections 56200 et seq.

Staffing, Program Management and Reporting

The Director of EOPS oversees the staffing, program management and reporting in compliance with the State Chancellor’s Office. An evaluation report of the program’s activities is completed and sent at the end of each academic year to the Chancellor’s Office. Demographic data on the EOPS cohort is transmitted each academic year via the Chancellor’s MIS reporting system.

Student Responsibility Requirements

Upon admission to the program, students are provided with an immersion program through a formal orientation and given an “EOPS Program Information Student Handbook.” Students sign a “Mutual Responsibility Contract” that delineates specific requirements and student responsibilities.

Direct Aid

Book vouchers or book services are available to all eligible students at the beginning of each semester.

Ancillary Services

Tutoring services are available by referral from EOPS Counselors and the Career Center.
