Rancho Santiago Community College District recognizes that, as a result of financial need, language limitations, and academic challenges, some students need additional assistance to succeed in college.  EOPS is a state funded program designed to provide student support services to full-time students.

The program is geared to assist students who have financial barriers, are challenged by academic under-preparedness or whose primary language is not English. Students who meet eligibility criteria will be provided with the following services: specialized academic, career and personal counseling, book services, parking pass or bus pass, grants, tutoring, priority registration, transfer assistance, financial aid application assistance, and special activities and workshops. Additionally, EOPS provides comprehensive retention services that include: counseling, tutoring, and instruction.

EOPS is funded to supplement "over and above" the general services offered by the college.

Book services which do not require repayment are available to students who are
EOPS eligible and active EOPS students.
