9. EOPS/CARE Allocation Formulas
Background:
Formulas suspended starting in when EOPS and CARE were cut nearly 40%
Formulas reinstated in after both EOPS and CARE were fully restored to funding levels in
In EOPS student cap implemented, per 2015 EOPS Allocation Task Group (cap based on highest # of students served in , or

10. EOPS/CARE Allocation Formulas
Background:
EOPS Allocation Task Group = 1 EOPS representative from each of the 10 regions, 1 CSSO, 1 CBO, 1 CCCEOPSA representative and Chancellor’s Office Dean of Student Services and EOPS/CARE staff

11. EOPS Allocation Formula for 2017-18
Three elements:
Base Allocation = $50,000 to each program
Students Served = 90% of remaining funds allocated based on students served in prior year
College Effort = Remaining 10% allocated based on “college effort”
“College Effort” is defined as 15% of the individual program’s average EOPS allocation for , , ; statewide “college effort” $$ are divided into funds available for Element #3 to determine dollar rate per each dollar of college effort
Each program is guaranteed 95% of prior fiscal year allocation

12. CARE Allocation Formula for 2017-18
Two elements:
Base Allocation = $10,000 base allocation to each program
Students Served = Remaining funds allocated based on students served in prior year
Each program is guaranteed 95% of prior fiscal year allocation

13. EOPS/CARE Allocation Formulas in 2017-18
Any penalties (for audit findings and return of more than 5% of the allocation after the close of ) were applied after the formulas were ran; did not affect initial allocation
Penalties could cause a program to be cut more than 5%

14. EOPS/CARE Allocation Formulas in 2017-18
Each program gets COLA (cost-of-living adjustment), if included in State Budget Act, after allocation formulas are ran
Programs receive growth funds, if included in State Budget Act and if program meets minimum enrollment growth to be eligible for these funds

15. EOPS Allocation Formula in 2017-18
How student cap affects your allocation:
Serve less than student cap = funded for # of students served
Serve the same as student cap = likely funded at approximately the same level as prior year – may take a couple of years for this to start happening
Serve more than student cap = may receive some additional funds for all or some of the students above cap if growth funds are included in the State Budget Act

16. EOPS/CARE Allocation Formulas in 2018-19 and Beyond
EOPS/CARE Allocation Task Group met five times in 2017 to review elements of EOPS and CARE allocation formulas
Task Group = 1 EOPS representative from each of the 10 regions, 1 CSSO, 1 CBO, 1 CCCEOPSA representative and Chancellor’s Office staff (Dean of Student Services and EOPS/CARE staff)
Task Group was charged with soliciting input, comments, questions, concerns from constituencies

17. EOPS/CARE Allocation Formulas in 2018-19 and Beyond
EOPS/CARE Allocation Task Group made recommended changes to EOPS and CARE formulas
Consultation Council reviewed recommended changes at its October 19, 2017 meeting
Chancellor’s Office is currently planning to implement changes starting in

18. New EOPS Allocation Formula
Currently Planned 2 Year Phase-In Implementation
(First Year of Implementation)
$150,000 base
95% for students served in prior prior year ( )
5% for college effort
95% guarantee
Minimum of $150,000 per program
Student cap = same cap as in

19. New EOPS Allocation Formula
2. Currently Planned for (Second Year of Implementation)
$150,000 base
90% for students served in prior prior year ( )
5% for college effort
5% for growth
95% guarantee
Minimum of $150,000 per program
Student cap = based on # of students funded in
EOPS category C obligation determined from prior prior EOPS final expenditures report

20. New CARE Allocation Formula
Currently Planned to Implement in
$30,000 base
After base is distributed, remaining funds allocated based on prior prior student numbers ( )
90% guarantee
No student cap for CARE
In five years, reconvene task group to discuss the 90% guarantee to see how close to parity the formula allocations are at that time
If CARE funding increases or decreases by 10% or more before the five years, then revisit the formula then

21. Also….
EOPS and CARE:
One-time, dollar-for-dollar penalty for returning more than 3% of allocation after April 30, starting in
The allowed time frame for spending current year EOPS and CARE funds is still July 1 through June 30 of that same fiscal year

22. EOPS Eligibility Criteria
Historically, EOPS programs were able to accept many students into EOPS by determining they were educationally disadvantaged through use of assessment tests that showed that students were:
“not qualified at the college of attendance for enrollment into the minimum level English or mathematics courses that are applicable to the associate degree.”*
*Per Title 5, section 56220(e)(1)

23. EOPS Eligibility Criteria
With multiple measures and AB 705 (Assessment and Placement) in place, students may be less likely to qualify for EOPS using, “not qualified at the college of attendance for enrollment into the minimum level English or mathematics courses that are applicable to the associate degree.”

24. EOPS Eligibility Criteria
There are still eight other options for determining if a student is educationally disadvantaged, per Title 5, section 56220(e)
There is no limit to how many times these eight other options are used

25. EOPS Eligibility Criteria
Title 5, section 56220:
Be a resident of CA or meet AB 540/CA Dream Act requirements
Be enrolled full-time when accepted into EOPS; EOPS director may authorize up to 10% of EOPS students accepted/enrolled in for 9 units
Not have completed more than 70 units of degree-applicable credit course work in any combination of postsecondary higher education institutions
Qualify to receive a CA College Promise Grant (formerly called Board of Governors fee waiver) A (based on public assistance) or B (based on income) or C (based on need) with $0 Expected Family Contribution

26. EOPS Eligibility Criteria
Title 5, section (continued):
e) Be educationally disadvantaged (five options):
(students only need to meet one of the five options to be accepted into EOPS)
(there is no limit to how many times any of these options are used)

27. EOPS Eligibility Criteria
Title 5, section 56220(e) (continued):
Not qualified at college of attendance for enrollment into the minimum level English or mathematics course that is applicable to the associate degree
Not have graduated from high school nor obtained the GED
3) Graduated from high school with a GPA below on a 4.0 scale
4) Was previously enrolled in remedial education or basic skills (at high school or college)

28. EOPS Eligibility Criteria
Title 5, section (continued):
5) Other factors (optional)/student must meet only one:
first-generation college student (neither parent/guardian has successfully attended college, e.g., neither parent/guardian has a bachelor’s degree); or
Underrepresented as defined by district student equity goals; or
Primary language spoken at home was/is not English; or
Current or former foster youth.
No limit on how often the above four options are used

29. Counting a Student as Served
Title 5, section 56204:
“For purposes of allocating EOPS funds, conducting audits and evaluations, an EOPS student served is a person for whom, at minimum, the EOPS program has documentation in the student’s file of an EOPS application, Education Plan, and Mutual Responsibility Contract….”

30. Counting a Student as Served
In addition to the three required documents, an EOPS student must also:
Be provided with an EOPS service (including, but not limited to, orientation, counseling, priority registration, book services, etc.) and
Attend at least one class during the term in which s/he is being counted (class can be prior to first census); EOPS is responsible for verifying class attendance

31. Examples of When a Student Cannot Be Counted as Served
Student attends classes but has no active participation in EOPS during the term
Student receives EOPS services prior to the first day of the term but drops out of college before the first day of class and does not re-enroll
Student is accepted into EOPS at 12 units prior to first day of term and drops down to 6 the day before the start of the term and doesn’t add units during the term
Student is accepted into EOPS and subsequently disqualified during the verification and/or re-evaluation of her application and therefore, ineligible for EOPS

32. Timing of First and Third Mandatory EOPS Counseling Contact
Title 5, section 56236: each college shall provide counseling and advisement to EOPS students of at least three contact sessions per term for each student as follows: a) Interpret assessment results to prepare a student’s educational plan and a mutual responsibility contract specifying what EOPS programs and services the student shall receive and what the student is expected to accomplish

33. Timing of First and Third Mandatory EOPS Counseling Contact
Section (continued) b) An in-term contact session to ensure the student is succeeding adequately, that EOPS programs and services are being provided effectively, and to plan changes as may be needed to enhance student success

34. Timing of First and Third Mandatory EOPS Counseling Contact
Section (continued) c) A term-end or program exit contact session to assess the success of students in reaching their objectives that term, the success of EOPS programs and services in meeting the students’ needs, and to assist students in preparing for the next term of classes or to make future plans for students leaving EOPS or the college

35. Timing of First and Third Mandatory EOPS Counseling Contact
Section (continued)
The first mandatory counseling contact may occur prior to the first day of the term
The third mandatory counseling contact may occur after the last day of the term
The first and third counseling contacts should not cross over from one primary term into another, i.e., the first mandatory counseling contact of the spring 2018 term should not take place during Fall 2017
