Early Assessment Program (EAP)

The Early Assessment Program (EAP) is a collaborative effort of the CSU, the California Department of Education (CDE), and the State Board of Education (SBE). The goal of this unprecedented partnership is to ensure that eleventh grade students are “on track” to meet GE college entry level standards in English and mathematics/quantitative reasoning. Those students who do well on the EAP are exempt from participating in the CSU Early Start Program.

Participating in the EAP

All students who take the CAASPP automatically participate in the EAP
The CAASPP is administered in the spring of the junior year
To send the CAASPP EAP status to CSU and CCC, students should select the option to release their EAP results to the CSU and participating California Community Colleges. This option will appear as the last question on the assessment. The results are not required or used for admissions. However, if students mark the “do not release” option, they will be required to submit the results at a later date.

EAP Results

Schools will receive student CAASPP and EAP results within 2-4 weeks after all schools in the district have completed testing.

CAASPP Student Score Reports will be sent home approximately 8 weeks after all testing is complete in that district.
