encouraging enrollment and retention
The EOPS Program's primary goal is to encourage the enrollment, retention and transfer of students handicapped by language, social, economic and educational disadvantages, and to facilitate the successful completion of their goals and objectives in college.
Through EOPS and CARE, eligible students receive supplemental educational support services, such as counseling, advisement, classes, workshops, peer support, and networking activities. In addition, grants and allowances for transportation and books/supplies are provided to enhance the retention, persistence, graduation and transfer rates of these academically high-risk students in their chosen educational objectives, which include vocational certificate or license, associate degree and transfer options.
For more information, contact the EOPS Office at (925) 439-2181, ext. 3117.

Future EOPS Students -- FALL 2012 APPLICATION
Unfortunately, due to the impact of state budget cuts, EOPS will not accept new students for summer 2012; however, EOPS will start fall 2012 applications 5/21/12. Please following each of the required application steps and timeline outlined below.
LMC students participate in EOPS on a voluntary basis, and EOPS cannot guarantee admission to any student. Program space in EOPS is limited and offered in compliance with Section 56280 of the The Implementation Guidelines authored by the California Community College Chancellor’s Office which prioritizes admission to students from the “greatest underrepresented among students served.”
EOPS Student Advocacy group
The EOPS program has formulated its first ever student advocacy group.
With the general purpose of promoting the EOPS mission. We have selected six (6) EOPS Student
Advocates (ESA) to increase our overall program effectiveness and to develop student leaders.
ESA's will serve as a dynamic student voice as they assist in the development of program goals,
objectives, administrative processes, and in the review of the program functions.
