The semester limit for students to remain in the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) program is 6 semesters.
Understanding EOPS Service Limits
The EOPS program is designed to provide comprehensive support services to eligible students who are economically and educationally disadvantaged, helping them achieve their academic goals, transfer, or complete vocational programs. To ensure equitable access and efficient use of resources, EOPS programs, which operate under Title V regulations, set specific service limits for student participation.
These limits are in place to guide students toward timely completion of their educational objectives while ensuring that program benefits reach a broad base of eligible individuals.
Key Service Limits
Students enrolled in the EOPS program can receive services until they reach one of the following thresholds, whichever comes first:
| EOPS Service Limit Type | Limit |
|---|---|
| Semesters | 6 |
| Degree Applicable Units | 70 |
This means that a student will typically exit the program once they have completed six semesters of participation or accumulated 70 degree-applicable units, even if they have not yet reached the semester limit. These limits encourage students to make consistent progress towards their degree or certificate.
