Extended Opportunity Programs and Services

Succeeding in college depends on more than just academic support for many students. You may need extra financial help, specialized counseling that addresses your specific challenges and overall guidance to meet your educational and career goals. Chaffey College offers Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) to meet those needs. The state legislature established EOPS in 1969 as a state-funded counseling program for historically underrepresented students to help them achieve their goals. The application for the Fall 2024 semester will open on April 29.

Mission Statement

EOPS is a community college counseling program that provides "over and above" academic, personal and financial support to qualified community college students whose educational and socioeconomic backgrounds might prevent them from successfully attending college. Services provided are specifically designed for under-represented students and their specific needs with the ultimate goal being completion of a certificate program, an associate degree and/or transfer to a four-year university.

Types of Appointments Available

Students have the option to meet with a counselor in-person (requirements apply), via video, or by telephone. Please read the following important information for each type of appointment.

Expectations for all appointments  

Appointments and interactions with Counselors are intended for educational purposes only. To ensure that we are engaging in a safe, secure and respectful atmosphere with students, a counselor can end any counseling session at their professional discretion if a student is being disrespectful, inappropriate or does not have proper online etiquette for video, phone, in-person or chat sessions.  

Scheduling a Counseling Appointment

Counseling appointments are scheduled in ConexED. If you are a Chaffey College student make sure that you select the Chaffey College Student Icon. If you are not a Chaffey College student, make sure you select the Guest Icon and create a guest account.

When making an appointment be sure to select the correct meeting location desired. For In-person locations there are three locations available: Rancho, Chino, and Fontana campus. Reference chart above for important information for each type of appointment you are scheduling.

Important: Please use your student panther account as mentioned above to sign in when making an appointment via ConexEd (Avoid using your account linked to your personal email).  This will ensure easy check-ins for in-person appointments and that all notes are in one place for you.
