A brief description of the institution’s programs to guide and prepare students and families from low-income backgrounds for higher education:
The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) emerged from the Civil Rights Movement of the late 1960s as a response to the call for access and equity in higher education. As a result of this hard fought, student-led campaign, there is an EOP at every California State University campus today to provide support services for its students. At Cal Poly Pomona, EOP continues to operate today as the University's first and most comprehensive post secondary access and equity program. Established in 1969, the program serves low-income California residents who demonstrate the motivation and potential to succeed in college.
ACCESS- Although 95 percent of EOP students entering Cal Poly Pomona meet the University's regular admission requirements, the program offers access to a limited number of first-time freshmen who do not qualify for regular admission.
EQUITY- EOP promotes equity ("leveling the playing field") by providing participants with a broad range of support services throughout their undergraduate enrollment, as long as they maintain full-time status, make satisfactory academic progress, and fulfill program requirements
