Welcome to EOPS/CARE
Getting through college may not always be easy. Whether you are planning to transfer, working towards an Associates Degree or Certificate, or just picking up some valuable work skills, the Diablo Valley College EOPS/CARE program is here to support you to achieve your educational goals.
October 2009 is EOPS Month in California
In September, 2009, Senate Concurrent Resolution 34 (Ducheny) was adopted by the California state legislature declaring October 2009 as EOPS month. The bill recognizes the mission and successs of EOPS programs statewide in serving over 1.9 million students in the California Community Colleges. Congratulations EOPS!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CONTINUING EOPS STUDENTS
Due to California's current fiscal crisis, EOPS will be making difficult but necessary cuts to some aspects of the 2009-2010 program. Please click on the following link to a letter sent out July 2009 detailing these important changes: Impact of California budget cuts on EOPS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR POTENTIAL EOPS STUDENTS
We are saddened to report that due to the severe budget cuts the EOPS Program has received for the 09-10 fiscal year, we cannot accept new applicants for the Spring 2010 semester. EOPS will be re-open to new applicants for the Fall 2010 semester. Application packets will be available beginning May 3, 2010 in the EOPS Office and on the EOPS web page.

The CARE Program is for single parents who are participating in CalWORKs/TANF, and have children thirteen years of age or younger. We will have very limited new spaces available in the Spring 2010 semester for CARE or Foster Youth students.
