EOPS Application Process
EOPS NOW ACCEPTING SPRING 2019 NEW STUDENT APPLICATIONS
EOPS has a limited number of slots for new applicants for the SPRING 2019 semester. Use this link to apply online: www.tinyurl.com/SP19EOPSApp.
The application period will close on Friday, February 8, 2019 or until we reach program capacity, whichever comes first. Due to high demand and limited space, depending on the volume of applications received, the application period may close early.
In order to apply for EOPS, you must complete the following steps prior to submitting an application:
1) Enroll in at least 12.0 units (Note: DSS students may submit a DSS certification to enroll in fewer than 12.0 units. Also, parent students or former foster youth may enroll in 9.0 - 11.9 units)
If you are a former or current foster youth, please contact Mercedes Lezama, START Foster Youth Program Coordinator 925-969-2203 (mlezama@dvc.edu), for assistance with EOPS or to get information about foster youth support programs on campus.
2) Submit the California Promise Grant (formerly known as the Board of Governors Fee Waiver) to the Financial Aid Office and allow at least 48 hours for processing. You must be deemed eligible for the CA Promise Grant in order to be eligible for EOPS.
If you are an undocumented student, please contact Phoebe Keesey, Financial Aid Program Coordinator, at 925-969-2124 (pkeesey@dvc.edu), if you have questions about your CA Promise Grant eligibility or other financial aid.
We also recommend students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for EOPS work-study or CARE study-time parent grants. Completion of the FAFSA is highly recommended but not required for EOPS eligibility.
FOR POTENTIAL CARE STUDENTS:
CARE applicants must submit a copy of their most current Notice of Action (dated within one month of the start of the semester), attend a new CARE student orientation, and meet additional CARE eligibility requirements.
The EOPS Office will communicate with you via your DVC Insite Portal email regarding your eligibility for the EOPS and CARE programs.
Space is limited each semester. Eligible students who are offered a space in the program must attend an EOPS New Student Orientation to officially join EOPS and receiving EOPS or CARE services.
Each semester, EOPS students must meet the following requirements:
- Meet with an EOPS Peer Advisor once each semester.
- Meet with an EOPS/CARE Counselor twice each semester for scheduled counseling visits.
- Complete required units (67 percent of enrolled units) with a 2.0 GPA.
- Complete one mid-semester EOPS Progress Reports for each class and submit to an EOPS counselor for review by the established deadline.
Counseling appointments with other college counselors regarding non-EOPS matters are allowable. However, these appointments will not count as a required EOPS counseling visit.
