Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) is a state-funded program established in 1969 with the passage of Senate Bill 164. EOPS is a pioneer program among student success-based initiatives, and its components have shown to be essential factors in student success.

The EOPS program's mission is to encourage the enrollment, retention, graduation, and transfer of low-income students affected by educational, social, or language disadvantages. EOPS services are designed to give students individualized attention and support as they work to achieve their academic goals. Services include counseling, textbook assistance, priority registration, computer lab, and printing, CSU/UC application fee waivers, and other services.

To qualify, students must

  • Be enrolled in 12 units at the time of acceptance to the program (some exceptions are available for Student Accessibility Services or special vocational programs).
  • Be eligible for the California College Promise Grant "A" or "B" (formerly Board of Governors Fee Waiver).
  • Be a California resident or meet AB540/California Dream Act requirements.
  • Be educationally disadvantaged as determined by regulations.
  • Not have completed 70 degree-applicable units of college coursework.

Students may apply online via their SURF account. Click here for instructions on how to apply online. Eligible students must attend a mandatory EOPS orientation to complete their admissions process into the program.
