Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) is a state funded program designed to provide counseling, retention and support services to increase college enrollment for those individuals who have previously not considered college as an option. EOPS strives to alleviate the educational barriers that preclude many students from college attendance.
"EOPS really got me through my community college experience. It helped me to become a better and more confident person. It also motivated me to continue with my education. Now, its UCLA, baby!" - America Gonzales, EOPS student/graduate
EOPS provides services, "above and beyond" those offered by the college, to enhance the educational success of program participants, beginning with an outreach program that stresses that college is for everyone with a dream, and that success can be a reality for those with a plan.
As students progress through their programs, EOPS will assist as they prepare for graduation and/or transfer by helping with educational and career planning. Simply put, EOPS helps eligible students enroll, stay in college, and succeed.
