The mission of OCC's EOP office is to provide access, academic support, and financial assistance to first-time, full-time students who show promise for succeeding in college but who may need additional support throughout their time here.

The EOP office is located on the second floor of Coulter Hall. You can learn more about the services they provide students by visiting EOP's web page.
