ECC Scholarships: Deadline December 6 

Students are encouraged to apply for El Camino College Foundation scholarships online via MyECC by the December 6 deadline. Students currently working on an application are reminded to complete all requirements and SUBMIT it. This includes transcripts and requesting a letter of recommendation from a faculty member. Students with a 2.0 grade point average or better who have completed, or will be in the process of completing, a minimum of six graded credit units at ECC are encouraged to apply. Scholarships range from $500 to $5,000 and may be used to help pay for tuition, books and fees. For more information, contact the Scholarship Office.

Classes Added to Spring 2014!  

Additional classes have been added to Spring 2014. The added sections afford students the ability to get the classes they need to earn a degree/certificate or transfer to a four-year university. Beginning this academic year, additional funding from the passage of Proposition 30 helped provide monies to add the classes, including high-demand transfer courses in English, math, and the sciences. ECC added hundreds of classes across all divisions this past summer and current fall semester. Find the most up-to-date schedule information in the "Searchable Schedule."
