Limits to Participation

Over 70

EOPS students shall continue to be eligible for the EOPS program and services until the student has completed 70 degree-applicable units. Time enrolled in remedial courses such as ENG 101, ENG 253, MAT 201, etc., and remedial-level ESL shall not be included when calculating degree-applicable units. All degree-applicable units earned at any college must be counted toward the 70-unit limit. This limitation is waived only in cases where the student is declared a high-unit major as determined by Hartnell College.

Inactive

An EOPS student will be considered "Inactive" if they do not enroll for a full semester (excluding summer). If inactive students want to participate in the program when they return to Hartnell College, they must fill out a new EOPS application and meet the eligibility requirements.

Warning

If an EOPS student does not comply with the program's responsibilities outline in the Mutual Responsibility Contract, they will be placed on “Warning” status for the following semester. Warning students are eligible to continue receiving any program services for the semester but are subject to disqualification if they do not meet the program requirements during their warning semester.

Disqualification

If an EOPS student does not comply with the program's responsibilities during their "Warning" semester, they will be placed on “Disqualification.” Students on “Disqualification” are no longer active members of the program; therefore they are not eligible to receive services. Students have the opportunity to petition their “Disqualification” from EOPS by completing a Petition For Reinstatement. If a student's petition is approved, they will be reinstated to EOPS as an active member of the program.
