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 child care, 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.
