Will I still be considered EOP if I am unable to attend programs and events?
Depending on when you start at UC Santa Cruz (some students start in Fall term, others join in Winter term), you are required to attend the EOP Fall Welcome program. If you are a participant in our First-Year Experience programs such as EOP Bridge Academy, IGNITE, or EOP RISE Scholars that are requirements of events for each of those to maintain membership. General EOP public events are not mandatory but we highly recommend you take advantage of them as they are resources that help you succeed academically at UCSC.
