Extended Opportunity Programs & Services

Our Story

EOPS was established in 1969 amid the struggle for civil rights and racial equality. Students and community activists held demonstrations to protest the under-representation of minorities and low-income students in higher education.

In response to the social and political pressure, the state of California passed laws authorizing community colleges to develop EOPS to support economically and educationally disadvantaged students in the community college system.

DROP-IN COUNSELING 

 

Have a Quick Question?

Drop-in Counseling is a quick and easy way to get support when you need it!

Whether you have a brief question, want general information, or are looking for referrals to campus or community resources, our drop-in hours are available for you. These sessions are designed for short, focused conversations.

For more complex or ongoing concerns, we recommend scheduling an appointment so we can better support you.

Drop-in Counseling is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis and typically lasts 20-30 minutes with the currently available counselor. It’s a simple, low-pressure way to connect and get the guidance you need.
