Extended Opportunity Program and Services<br />
Extended Opportunity Program and Services (EOPS) is a California state-funded program designed to offer additional<br />
financial assistance and special support services to help and encourage those students affected by social and<br />
economic disadvantages. EOPS is committed to helping students gain access to the resources they need to achieve<br />
their academic goals and to succeed in college.<br />
To be eligible for EOPS, a student must be a California resident, maintain a 2.0 grade point average, be enrolled in a<br />
minimum of 12 units, demonstrate financial need by qualifying for a Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGW), and be<br />
determined by the EOPS staff to be educationally underprepared. Some services EOPS students may receive include:<br />
• Educational and career guidance<br />
• Transfer assistance<br />
• Priority registration<br />
• Textbooks<br />
• Child care<br />
• EOPS work study<br />
• CARE services<br />
These services are designed to be “over and above” the services provided to the general student body. The academic<br />
progress of EOPS students is regularly monitored. Students are required to submit one progress report each semester so<br />
that staff and faculty can offer immediate assistance when alerted to obstacles that might be hindering a student’s success.<br />
EOPS applications are reviewed by the EOPS staff for program eligibility.<br />

of attending college.<br />

is advised. All CARE students must also be EOPS<br />
