I understand that in order to maintain my eligibility in EOP&S, I must adhere to the following:

• Upon acceptance to EOP&S, I am required to:
  1. Attend an EOP&S Orientation
  2. Submit the Mutual Responsibility Contract
  3. Complete an Educational Plan with an EOP&S Counselor


• To maintain my active status in EOP&S/CARE each semester I must:
  1. Complete three (3) EOP&S counselor contacts per semester
  2. Apply for FAFSA or CA Dream Act and qualify for EOP&S Financial Aid eligibility
  3. Complete 12 units or more each Fall and Spring semester (unless approved for reduced units by EOP&S counselor) with a semester GPA of 2.0 or above
  4. Maintain satisfactory academic progress towards a certificate, associate degree and/or transfer goal
  5. Meet with an EOP&S Counselor at the beginning of the semester if placed on academic probation (GPA is below a 2.0 and/or complete less than six units). Two consecutive semesters on probation may result in dismissal from the program
  6. Report any changes in my Educational Plan to an EOP&S Counselor (for example: dropping or adding a class, change of major, etc.)
  7. Notify the EOP&S, Admissions/Records and Financial Aid Offices of any changes to my address and/or phone number


• Upon completion of 70 units of college level coursework, eligibility for EOP&S/CARE services will be discontinued, UNLESS I am enrolled in an approved High Unit Major.

I understand that failure to comply with the EOP&S Mutual Responsibility Contract may result in Program dismissal. If dismissed, I must sit-out for one semester before reapplying to EOP&S and Director has final decision of re-acceptance.

EOP&S/CARE reserves the right to make any necessary changes to the contract and/or Program policies as necessary.
