Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS)/Cooperative Assistance Resources for Education (CARE)
Crafton Hills College recognizes that, as a result of financial need, language differences, and academic challenges, some students will need special help for college success. EOPS (Extended Opportunity Programs and Services) is a state funded effort which provides services that are “over and above” what is traditionally provided to community college students. Special services are provided to full-time community college students that are designed to meet, direct or supplement educational costs for families who are educationally and financially disadvantaged and to provide access to higher education.
Services provided include:
- Academic/Career/Personal Counseling
- Priority registration
- Transfer assistance to the four-year universities
- Assistance in completing an educational plan
- Tutoring
- Book Service Program
- Financial assistance
- Instructional development and services
