EOP
Introduction & Mission Statement
Introduction
EOP is a New York State grant-funded initiative that focuses on
academic, counseling, advisement, and financial assistance. At SUNYIT,
EOP coordinates resources from the Learning and Counseling Centers to
help students complete their degree requirements. All candidates for the
program must have been enrolled in either EOP, the Higher Educational
Opportunity Program (HEOP), the Search for Education, Elevation and
Knowledge (SEEK) Program, or College Discovery (CD), a program similar
to EOP.
Admissions procedures are the same for EOP candidates as other
students. However, additional supplemental application materials are
sent by the EOP Office that must be returned by candidates to determine
their eligibility. The program has a limited number of openings for
eligible students; therefore, individuals without prior EOP sponsorship
may find it difficult to enroll in the program at the upper-division
level.
Mission Statement
The mission of EOP at SUNY Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome is to
focus on providing access and equity to educationally under prepared and
talented students. The program is designed to offer tutorial services,
counseling, advisement, and financial assistance.
