All EOPS and CARE students must follow our Student Responsibility Contract to participate in the program.

• Academic Counseling: Three counselor contacts are required for each semester.
• Orientation: Attend a one time, mandatory new student orientation.
• Education Plan: Complete and maintain a current four semester educational plan.
• Midterm Progress Report: This form is sent to all EOPS/CARE students in the middle of the semester. Instructors need to complete the form. When completed, submit to the EOPS office.
• Priority Registration: For each semester, EOPS/CARE students are given advanced dates to register for classes.

• New Students: New students must be full time (12 or more units). Students can be admitted and maintained in the program with less than full time status upon the EOPS Director's approval.
• Academic Progress: EOPS/CARE students are expected to maintain a grade point average of “C” (2.0) or better.

Students who do not meet the responsibilities every semester will receive less services or be withdrawn from the program.
Once a student completes 70 degree applicable units or 6 consecutive semesters, they are no longer eligible for EOPS/CARE services.

High Unit Majors: Students will continue in the program beyond 70 units when their majors are: RN= 128.25 units; Engineering Technology=108 units; AHT=138 units; Electronics= 92.25 units; Engineering=98 units
