Admissions FAQ

I finished my New Student Online Orientation but when I try to register for classes it says that I didn't. Why is that?

The New Student Orientation (NSO) at ECC consists of 3 parts:

1. Watching an online orientation, at the end of which, you will take a quiz and will be prompted to schedule a meeting with an academic advisor.
2. Scheduling a meeting with an academic advisor.
3. Meeting with an advisor, either in person or over Zoom®.

If you have not finished all of the steps mentioned earlier, your NSO in the system will be marked as "Incomplete."

If you are certain that you went through the entire orientation and finished every step, but you still cannot register, contact our AccessECC help desk at 847-214-7570 or via email at AccessECC@elgin.edu.
