2016-17 Unit Plan
EOPS

Mission Statement

To increase access, retention and completion of those students who are economically and educationally disadvantaged.

Program Description

The EOPS & CARE programs offer services designed to meet the educational needs of students handicapped by “language, social and economic disadvantages by providing services that focus on access, retention and transition support programs.

The EOPS Program will have the following program components/ functions:
A.  Management Services Component that includes program administration and support functions, management information and evaluation functions and program eligibility determination functions.
B.  Outreach, Orientation, and Registration Component that includes recruitment functions and services such as EOPS program orientation, priority registration assistance, etc.

Student Learning/Administrative Unit Outcomes

In an effort to increase students' usage of a broader range of EOPS support services, we now include a visit to the POWER Center as part of our orientation for new EOPS students.  Our belief is that if students know where the POWER Center is and are introduced to the staff in the Center that they will be less intimidated to use the services.
