Elgin Community College (ECC) has an open admissions policy, meaning it accepts all applicants who meet basic eligibility requirements. As a public community college, ECC does not publish a traditional acceptance rate because nearly all high school graduates or GED holders are admitted.
The college focuses on accessibility, offering programs to diverse learners, including dual enrollment for high school students. While enrollment is open, some specialized programs may have additional requirements. Prospective students should submit an application, official transcripts, and complete placement tests if required. ECC’s inclusive approach supports its mission to provide affordable education.
