What is my next step after applying to ECC?

 

Once you submit your application to ECC, processing it will take us 24-48 hours. After processing your application, you will receive a welcoming email with your student ID number. You need this number to view your username and set up your AccessECC student portal account and email. You will be asked to submit your transcripts and ACT/SAT scores for an evaluation. Based on the outcome of this evaluation, you might be asked to take placement tests. Once you finish your placement tests, you will go through an Online Orientation. You will meet with an academic advisor to discuss your study plan and finally register for classes.

Learn how to submit your transcripts after applying to ECC.

Submit your high school transcript and ACT or SAT scores to the Admissions Office. You do not have to have a high school diploma to apply, regardless of age. We also accept electronic transcripts through eScripsafe. Please allow two weeks for processing. Notification that your evaluation results are available will be sent to your student.elgin.edu email address. Please remember that it is the student’s responsibility to request official transcripts for all colleges, universities, or the military and contact records at records@elgin.edu or 847-214-7386 to confirm all transcripts have been received before requesting the evaluation.
