EXTENDED OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM AND SERVICES-

Why EOPS

What was the climate in the 1960s and early 70’s

1. The proportion of minority students enrolled in community

colleges did not reflect the ethnic demographics of the

communities state wide.

2. Students were not well received or well served by the institution in their community .

On September 4, 1969 the California Community College recognized their inability to

serve this population and accepted the funding and its regulations in the hope of

better serving this population.

3. Students were seen with foreign lenses by the people that were paid to serve them; staff

faculty and administrators

E

O

Student must be eligible for CCPG A or B (financially disadvantage)

EXTENDED OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM AND SERVICES- 101

Mutual Responsibility Contract

Once in the program students must make three appointments to remain eligible

In order to receive EOPS financial services the student must have
