Who we are: 

The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) at UC San Diego is part of the UC Office of the President's Student Academic Preparation and Educational Partnerships (SAPEP) portfolio whose collective goal is to raise achievement levels and close achievement gaps among targeted student groups across California public schools, from pre-K to postgraduate.

SAPEP programs, particularly EAOP, were created to reduce disparities in college access and preparation levels among public school students. EAOP does not exclusively promote UC San Diego. Rather, EAOP works with students to explore their personal and unique needs and interests in their pursuit of postsecondary education, while at the same time acknowledging the particular strengths of higher education systems that can help meet their goals. 

EAOP at UC San Diego maintains relationships and partnerships with several school sites within the San Diego - Central, San Diego - South Bay, and Imperial Valley regions. At these locations listed below, EAOP maintains a physical presence and offers more in-depth, one-on-one advising to students who wish to enroll in our program. 

Who we are not:

EAOP is not the admissions office or the campus tour office. If you are looking for information regarding UC San Diego admissions or an official campus tour request, please visit the following page: UC San Diego Enrollment Management (Admissions/Financial Aid). Although EAOP offers guidance on higher education and the admissions process to the various college systems, these are our opinions and guidance alone and do not represent the opinions of UC San Diego and campus admissions staff.

How Does our Student Data Get Used
Our data gets entered into our database Lacai where it remains according to our data retention and destruction policy outlined below. Periodic reports are run to help EAOP understand the population we serve and support, ensure that our services are reaching our target populations, show the reach of our program, and prepare annual reports. Our annual report also includes a narrative section where we elaborate on our efforts in cases where we were not able to capture specific student, parent, and educator information. This report influences the level of funding that our program obtains annually. Therefore, the data ensures that we are meeting our program objectives to create greater access and opportunity for underserved youth and ensures sustained program funding in years to come. Individual data we collect is never shared with any other campus department or entity besides the UC Office of the President which compiles SAPEP data annually for their conglomerate statewide reports. All other data is shared only in summary statistics indistinguishable to an individual level.

Data Retention and Destruction Policy
EAOP retains any organizational data including sign-in sheets, google forms, data sets, and program applications for a period of 5 years after the last annual reporting period of inclusion and purges it in accordance with FERPA guidelines through secure file shredding and cloud storage file deletion.
