PROGRESS REPORTS
Progress report forms can be found here (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader). Please make sure to submit your completed progress report when you come in for your second contact.
We have changed the format for the progress report . The progress report is now included on a form that also has a student checklist on it. We hope that students will use the checklist to remind themselves of their program obligations. Please be sure to read the whole form as it contains very useful information for EOPS students.

All EOPS students are required to attend at least one workshop each semester (unless enrolled in a PD 17 class). Failure to do so will result in money being taken from your next book award/cash grant. Please inquire within the EOPS office for an alternative arrangement if you are unable to attend any workshop. We will give credit for attendance at other workshops as long as the proper documentation is submitted. ELECTRONIC TEXTBOOKS ARE COMING! The EOPS program is currently researching offering eTextbooks to EOPS students. eTextbooks are textbooks in digital form that students can either download to their computer to read or read directly from a website. We hope to be offering eTextbooks in our book loan library early next year, eventually offering them as part of EOPS student book awards. Please let us know what you think about this idea by completing a short survey.
TUTORING
We currently offer tutoring in Math, English, Accounting, and some C.I.S./C.A.O.T. classes. Additional tutoring may also be available in the Learning Assistance Center (LAC).
We are currently looking for tutors for any science course. If interested, please contact Mercy Yanez, Associate Dean of EOPS.
