Dear OPEIU Free College Participant:
OPEIU has received some important information regarding our Free College benefit program that we want to share with you. As an enrolled or enrolling student, we know you may have received communication from our academic partners, but we wanted to reach out to you directly to ensure you received the most updated information as it becomes available.
As you may be aware, the Department of Education (DOE) recently instructed Eastern Gateway Community College (EGCC) and Central State University (CSU) to cease providing the Free College Benefit program as currently implemented.
Fall enrollment for Free College benefit students is currently paused for all new and returning students at this time. For all questions, please email onlineteam@egcc.edu or call EGCC Admissions Counselors at 1-833-465-2505 or the Financial Aid Help Desk at 1-833-465-2505 option 2.
You can also visit https://egcc.edu/press-release/ for the most up-to-date information. We are hopeful more definitive answers will be available soon and remain committed to finding and providing the finest benefits possible to our members.
