The Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP) at California State University, Northridge, is a learning centered and student-centered program. EOP designs, administers and supports programs to deliver access and retention services to CSUN students. Established by legislative mandate in 1969, EOP provides services to historically low-income, educationally disadvantaged, first-generation college students; a population that not only reflects the diversity of CSUN’s feeder communities, but also the diversity of the University itself.

For those who qualify, EOP provides:

• Assistance in completing CSU Mentor and EOP applications for prospective applicants
• Transitional Experience (for first time freshmen and first time transfer students)
• Mentoring
• Holistic Academic Support Services
• Student Advocacy
• Student Engagement
• Financial Support: EOP Grant (if eligible)

Furthermore, academic support services are provided to all students through the Student Services Center/EOP Satellite office located in each academic college and for undecided students in the Advising Resource Center/EOP.

Additional Educational Opportunity Programs:

• The Faculty Mentor Program provides mentoring services, training, and resources for faculty, staff, and students.
• EOP Resilient Scholars Program is designed to provide access and support to former foster youth.
• EOP Transitional Programs help students bridge the gap between high school, community college and CSUN.
• EOP/Trio Student Support Services Program (SSSP) is dedicated to building a community of support and offers CSUN students the opportunity to participate in program services designed to develop the necessary skills to reach their academic and professional goals.
