Expanded Options Program
What is Expanded Options?
The Expanded Options Program (EOP) was created in 2005 by the Oregon legislature (SB 300) in order to provide high school students with additional opportunities to continue or complete their education as well as to allow them to earn concurrent high school and college credits through public community colleges and universities in the state of Oregon. If approved/authorized by your high school, your school district covers the cost of tuition and fees.
To be eligible for the program, you must be:
- 16 years of age or older at the time of enrollment and in grade 11 or 12
- Currently enrolled in high school, and
- On track to complete course requirements for graduation
Eligible school districts:
COCC works with the following shool districts: Bend La Pine; Crook County; Culver, Jefferson County; Klamath County; Redmond; and Sisters. Talk to your counselor if you don't see your district.
