Admission Information

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is designed to improve access and retention of historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged students. EOP students have the potential and demonstrated motivation to perform satisfactorily at a CSU, but they have not been able to realize their fullest potential because of their economic or educational background.

Only historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged undergraduate students who need admission assistance or support services to succeed in college are admitted to EOP. Students must demonstrate academic potential and motivation, be California residents, and meet the income criteria noted below.

EOP applications are accessible at www.csumentor.edu. 

EOP at CSU San Marcos solely conducts Fall admissions for NEW INCOMING Freshman and Transfer students.

All applicants must submit the following forms:

• Applicant Information Form
• 2 Recommendation Forms
