Current EOPS News as of May 13, 2013: 

 
If you are planning to take a summer class, EOPS may be able to help you with purchasing a textbook, up to $150, for one summer class.  Only EOPS students who complete the following will be able to take advantage of the Book Assistance for Summer:  

1. Be in Good Standing with EOPS.
   Students must make all 3 EOPS Contacts (according to the guildelines) for Spring 2013 to receive Book Assistance for Summer 2013.
2. Enroll in your summer class by May 31, 2013.
   Funds are limited, so only students who sign-up for their summer class by May 31 will be placed on the list for the Summer Book Service and given a textbook up to $150 for one class. Students who register for Summer after May 31 will not receive a Book Service for Summer.
3. Pick-up your textbook from the campus Bookstore by June 14. 
   Once you are notified that you will be receiving Book Assistance for Summer, you will have until June 14 to pick-up your textbook for your summer class.  Textbooks not picked up by June 14 will be returned to the Bookstore and funds returned to the EOPS program.

Please note that there is no Summer Program for EOPS.

The EOPS, CARE, and CalWORKs programs held their annual Awards Ceremony on Friday, April 26.  Students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher were honored for their academic success, and 11 individuals were recognized for exceptional achievements.  It was a special evening, especially for the staff who had the privilege of cheering on the students for their well-deserved recognition.

If you were one of the students who was honored, and you were unable to attend, please stop by the Financial Aid/EOPS Office (#1130 in MacMillan Hall) to pick-up your award certificate.  If you are a Lake County resident and you do not have any classes at the Ukiah campus, your award certificate will be available for pick-up at the Lake Center after Wednesday, May 15.
