All EOPS and CARE students must follow our Student Responsibility Contract to participate in the program.

• Academic Counseling: Three counselor contacts are required for each semester.
• Orientation: Attend a one time, mandatory new student orientation.
• Education Plan: Complete and maintain a current four semester educational plan.
• Midterm Progress Report: This form is sent to all EOPS/CARE students in the mid-semester. Instructors need to complete the form. When completed, submit to the EOPS office.
• Priority Registration: For each semester, EOPS/CARE students are given a priority registration day.

Students who do not meet the responsibilities every semester will receive less services or be withdrawn from the program.
Once a student completes 70 degree applicable units or 6 consecutive semesters, they are no longer eligible for EOPS/CARE services.

High Unit Majors: Students will continue in the program beyond 70 units when their majors are: RN = 118.25 units; Engineering LVN = 95 units; Engineering = 94.5 units

• Take advantage of any Student Services available on campus
• Meet with your EOPS/CARE counselor at least twice per semester
• Contact your Peer Advisor regularly
• Turn in your completed Progress Reports on time (Progress Report Forms can be downloaded from this web site.)
• Let EOPS/CARE counselors know if there are any changes in your academic schedule
• Follow the Hartnell College Academic Honor Code

We will work with you - Our goal is to make a college education accessible to students.
