1. As an EOPS student, am I required to enroll in 12 units every semester?

EOPS students are technically required to enroll in 12 or more units in their first semester with EOPS, although a student may enroll in 9-11.5 units, with the approval of the EOPS Director. 

In subsequent semesters an EOPS student may enroll in as few as 6 units and still maintain their EOPS eligibility.  Students who wish to enroll in less than 12 units should work closely with their EOPS Counselor to ensure they understand the impact of their reduced loads on their EOPS eligibility, financial aid eligibility, and educational planning.

Students with physical and learning disabilities may enroll in as few as 6 units, as recommended by the office, with whom they must be registered.

2. Do I have to re-apply for EOPS each academic year?

EOPS students once qualified for EOPS maintain their EOPS eligibility, for a maximum of 6 consecutive semesters or until they complete 70 AA units.  EOPS students who withdraw from college for one or more semesters must re-apply to the EOPS Program, and lose their continued EOPS eligibility.

7. What steps do I take to make an EOPS counselor appointment?

Go to Danner 101, EOPS Information Center and speak with a staff member. The first thing that we ask is the reason(s) you have come in.  If there is an EOPS counselor in particular who you would like to see, or if you do not have a preference for who you would like to see, you will be given the first available appointment time that matches your schedule.

You will be issued an appointment card with a Counselor's name, date and time of appointment.  On the day of the appointment we ask you check-in about 10 minutes before your scheduled time at the EOPS Information Center in Danner 101.
