Abstract	Drawing from on-site evaluations of the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) operating at 22 California community colleges in 1987-88, this report assesses the programs with respect to management, outreach and recruitment, instructional development, counseling, transfer and transition, special activities, financial aid, and staff development and training. Chapter 1 describes the process used to evaluate the 22 programs, identifies primary sources of information, and offers a profile of EOPS students in 1984-85 through 1987-88. Chapter 2 presents a survey of the EOPS services, noting exemplary activities. Highlighted findings include the following: (1) all of the programs distributed financial aid, but the amount of the aid, the form in which it was distributed, and the timing of the distributions differed considerably by college; (2) half of the programs were managed by a full-time director or coordinator; (3) all 22 programs were involved in outreach and recruitment efforts in their local service areas; (4) in cases in which the EOPS programs funded a portion of the total costs of the colleges' tutoring services, additional tutoring services beyond the level normally provided to other students were available to EOPS students; and (5) counseling services to facilitate transfer to four-year colleges were provided by most schools. Chapter 3 offers a summary of the recommendations for program improvement resulting from the evaluation. Appendixes provide a list of the programs reviewed in 1987-88, guidelines on operational program review procedures, and statistics on the characteristics and goals of the EOPS student populations in 1984-85 through 1987-88.
