EOP&S Student Responsibilities
EOP&S Mutual Student Responsibility Contract
The Crafton Hills College EOPS Mutual Responsibility Contract (MRC) is designed to help you (the EOPS student) achieve your educational goal while you are attending Crafton Hills College. The MRC is a binding contract between you (the student) and the EOPS Program. This MRC specifies what services you will receive, your role, responsibility, and the expectations of the EOPS Program.
As part of the MRC and our commitment to you (the EOPS student) we will provide you with services in the following areas: academic counseling, priority registration, academic supplies, cap and gown, referrals (including other programs and services on and off campus), transfer assistance, workshops, college tours, community building events, meal vouchers, and EOPS textbook services during the Fall and Spring semesters to the extent of the availability of EOPS funds.
By signing this EOPS MRC, you agree to comply with the requirements below in order to remain in good standing with the EOPS Program and services we provide. You are also informing us that you understand that you are required to adhere to all the contractual responsibilities listed below to maintain your eligibility in the program. If you are unclear about the EOPS MRC, please ask support staff for clarification.
As an EOPS student:
- I agree to follow my EOPS counselor approved educational plan in order to make progress toward my academic goal.
- I agree to enroll in a minimum of 12 units each semester (exception: SAS students). I understand that prior to making any changes to my class schedule or educational plan, I must have approval from an EOPS Counselor, this includes dropping/withdrawing from any classes.
- I agree to meet with an EOPS Counselor including, but not limited to, three mandatory counseling appointments per semester during the specific time frames (contact period 1 – 3). Failure to complete the required counseling appointments may result in dismissal from the EOPS program.
- I understand that I must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA each semester and cumulatively. If I do not meet this requirement, I will be placed on special monitoring through the Academic Success Agreement and will be required to meet with the EOPS Counselor four (4) times during the semester.
- I understand that I must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year, make Crafton Hills College my home college, and receive a CA Promise Grant method A, B, or C with a zero SAI each semester, in order to maintain eligibility for monetary EOPS services.
- I understand that EOPS reports ALL monetary support services (ex., textbook services, unmet need grants, gift cards, meal vouchers, parking permits) to Financial Aid to ensure that participants are not over-awarded. I understand these services may vary each semester depending on funding and once my unmet need is reached, EOPS will no longer be able to provide me with any additional monetary support services.
- I agree to participate in any support resources assigned by the EOPS counselor (such as academic success agreement, tutoring, counseling, classes, workshops, health and wellness services, etc.) to assist with completion of my educational goals.
- I agree to participate each semester in at least one community building activity, such as workshops, events, college tours, and ceremonies hosted by the EOPS program.
- I agree to respond in a timely manner to all emails and calls made to me by the EOPS program. I understand that if I am not able to attend my scheduled counseling appointment, I am responsible for rescheduling my required counseling appointments.
- I understand that EOPS textbook services (BookSaver/textbook voucher) are provided each semester (Fall/Spring) based upon program funding and my unmet need to purchase required textbooks for my counselor approved and actively enrolled courses.
- I understand that I am eligible to receive services upon reaching 70-degree applicable units, including all prior units (if applicable). Upon reaching 55+ units, I will be notified via email to connect with my EOPS counselor to discuss the exit process and explore additional resources available at CHC.
- I agree to uphold respectful and appropriate behavior at all times and to follow the college’s Student Code of Conduct. I understand that any misconduct, including disruptive or disrespectful behavior towards EOPS staff and peers may result in dismissal from the EOPS program.
- I understand that failure to fulfill the provisions listed above may result in being terminated from the EOPS program.
