"...every student capable of completing a program of higher education shall have the opportunity to do so."

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) provides access for New York State students who demonstrate academic potential and a desire to earn a college degree. The program assists students who are both academically and financially disadvantaged. Students enrolled in EOP receive additional services to support their success, such as:

  • One-to-one-personal/academic counseling
  • Free individual tutorial assistance
  • Opportunities for career development
  • A four-week / in person pre-college summer program for fall entering first-time students that helps them adjust to the campus and college life. The summer program is mandatory and free.

The EOP office is located in the Miller Campus Center room 234. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. For more information, please contact the EOP Office at 315-386-7226.
