Extended Opportunity Program and Services 127 Definition The Extended Opportunity Program and Services Office at Antelope Valley College receives State and District funding to help low income students who cannot afford the increasingly high cost of acquiring a higher education, and those who have the ability but require extra help in certain academic areas. The staff consists of professional, paraprofessional, and student assistant workers who are genuinely concerned with the academic success and personal development of each student in the program. The EOP S Office provides supportive service programs to maximize the chances for a student to achieve his/her own educational or vocational objectives. In order to receive consideration for EOP S grant money and other student support services, please visit our office in the Student Services Center.

EOP S Course EOPS 60R4 *ENRICHMENT CLASS 1-3 units 18-54 hours total The EOPS class attempts to meet the individual academic needs of those students enrolled. We do that by open discussions within the class pertaining to various types of assignments. There are three basic objectives that the students strive to accomplish. The first would be understanding the reasons for and methods of researching subject matter and thinking objectively in analyzing different points of performance as college level students. In addition to the basic assignments, there are various topics that we discuss that are related to the college campus community, the Antelope Valley community and international affairs. This dialogue tends to broaden the knowledge of a student as to why they are studying the subjects that they are enrolled in. Most important, however, this class is designed to help students meet the routine requirements of other classes being taken concurrently.
