To help students who may have faced financial hardship due to the pandemic, El Camino College has removed the debt of students enrolled between spring 2020 and spring 2022. This was made possible by using the federal government’s Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund, (HEERF).

El Camino College encourages students to re-enroll and take advantage of the numerous ways to waive tuition for summer and fall terms.

Get your education back on track to achieve your dreams of earning a degree or certificate, transferring to a university, earning a higher salary, and advancing your career.

Whatever you dream, El Camino College has a path tailored for you.  

 

We are forgiving student balances for our campus prior to spring 2020, especially when the debt is preventing you from re-engaging in your pursuit of a college education. This program will only cover your tuition and fees for prior terms at ECC.
