You can apply for EOPS at any time (no deadlines).

This is the EOPS Application.  The EOPS application form is required of all students in the program.  Students who are new to our program are required to complete an EOPS application only once UNLESS the student discontinues with the program. Students may bring a completed application to EOPS by downloading and printing a copy below. Students may also come into the EOPS office for a copy. In addition, a CARE application may be downloaded below if a student is eligible to become part of the CARE program. If you have any questions, please call EOPS at 650.306.3300.
