Here are important links to help students find class sections with seats available and to learn more about El Camino College courses.

Class Schedules

The Class Schedule displays a list of all El Camino College classes offered during a term. Use the Search Classes Online tool to find class sections and view the number of seats available and class type (On Campus At El Camino College, Online, Hybrid, etc.)

Open Class List

The Open Class List is an easy way to see all class sections with seats still available. Use the pull-down menus at the top to filter by term, course, department, start time, etc.

Online Bookstore

K-12 students taking El Camino College classes are responsible for purchasing any required textbooks/instructional materials. Check the Online Bookstore to view required textbooks/materials by term and class section.

Program Pathways Mapper

The Program Pathways Mapper is an online tool that can display all of the courses needed to complete a degree or certificate. Select a meta-major and then a degree or certificate to view the classes which a sample student could take to achieve that educational goal.

Catalog

Use the Catalog to view degrees and certificates, transfer pathways, and detailed information about every course offered by El Camino College, including a course title, description, prerequisites (if any), number of units, and CSU/UC transferability.

Academic Calendar

Important dates for each term can be found on the Academic Calendar, including the first day to register, date classes begin, deadlines to drop, holidays, and date classes end.

K-12 students must first submit an online application for admission to El Camino College.

(If you have already applied for a previous term, and not missed consecutive fall and spring semesters, proceed to Step 2.)

Apply for Admission

If this is your first time applying, you will first create an OpenCCC Account. Take your time and enter all identifying information carefully.

Once created, use your OpenCCC account to start a new application for El Camino College. Make sure to apply for the earliest term you wish to start taking classes, e.g. Winter Session 2024 or Spring Semester 2024.

K-12 students need to select a College Enrollment Status of "enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time."

For help to submit your application for admission, follow this guide:

Help to Apply PDF

You will be sent your Welcome Email (with ECC Student ID Number and access to MyECC) 1-3 business days after you submit your application. Follow instructions to sign into MyECC for the first time.

NOTE: Students need to apply for admission again if they do not register for classes for consecutive fall and spring terms, and also to take classes as a college student after graduating high school.

 

To provide an extra layer of security, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required for all El Camino College students and employees. 

MFA is used to verify your account when signing into MyECC from an off-campus location. This also affects access to Canvas, your @elcamino.edu email address, and other apps.

Students who have not enrolled in MFA may now experience this error when using their MyECC login credentials:

What students need to do

• Visit El Camino's Multi-Factor Authentication page and follow instructions to set up MFA
• Video instructions and Frequently Asked Questions about MFA are also available

If you encounter any issues or have any questions, our ITS Help Desk is here to help! Please contact them for assistance:

• helpdesk@elcamino.edu
• (310) 660-6571

K-12 students need to submit a completed Dual Enrollment Application Form for each term they wish to take classes.

This form needs to be signed by the student, a parent/guardian, and a principal or counselor at the student's high school. Signatures cannot be typed —all parties must draw their signature using pen, mouse, or touchscreen.

Students in grades K-10 (and students in grades 11-12 wanting to dual enroll in Contemporary Health or Physical Education activity courses) also need to obtain Division Dean Approval on their Dual Enrollment Application Form.

This form is also where K-12 students indicate the courses for which they would like to register, e.g. History 102 and Mathematics 150. See How many classes can I take through Dual Enrollment?

K-12 Form Help PDF

To submit your form

• Email a PDF or image of your form as an attachment to dualenrollment@elcamino.edu
• OR  Bring form in-person to Admissions & Records front counter in the Student Services Building during open hours

NOTE: It can take 1-3 business days to process your form. Students do not receive a notification when their form is processed – instead any K-12 form warnings will disappear from MyECC. Students can also view their course permissions in MyECC under Register > Register for Classes > Petitions & Waivers.

 

Some courses have prerequisites which students must clear before they can register: List of courses with a prerequisite.

Ways to clear a prerequisite:

• Math prerequisite (up to MATH 190)? 11th-12th grade students can complete the English and Mathematics Placement Survey in MyECC to receive math placement on their account.
  • For math clearance above MATH 190, email AP Exam scores or other college transcripts to math@elcamino.edu instead. 
• English prerequisite? 12th grade students can also receive English placement from the English and Mathematics Placement Survey in MyECC.
  • 11th grade students must complete the Supplemental English Placement Form. Please note that in most cases students must have completed 11th grade by the start of the class to receive English placement.
• Other prerequisite? Students using high school transcripts, AP Exam scores of 3, 4 or 5, or other college transcripts to clear a prerequisite can show them to an Express Counselor online or in-person (fastest) or submit the Online Prerequisite Clearance Form (up to 5 business days).
  • New for Fall 2023! Dual Enrollment Zoom Counseling is available Monday and Friday afternoon. Please see our Help & Events page.
• Students in grades K-10 receive prerequisite clearance at the same time they obtain Division Dean Approval.

For help to clear a prerequisite, follow this guide:

After Steps 1-3 are completed, you are ready to register for classes online using MyECC!

You can register for any class section of the course(s) listed on your Dual Enrollment Application Form with seats available.

• If no seats are available, then students can join the waitlist. What if a class I wish to take is waitlisted or closed?

You can register anytime on or after your Registration Appointment for the term.

• Your Registration Appointment may only appear after your Dual Enrollment Application Form for the term is processed
• K-12 students receive Winter Registration Appointments for a time on Wednesday, November 22, 2023 
• K-12 students receive Spring Registration Appointments for a time on Thursday, December 7, 2023

Here is a guide to help you Search for Classes and then Register for Classes using MyECC:

Help to Register PDF

See Page 5 to learn how to view your course permissions on file after your Dual Enrollment Application Form is processed.

 

• Check your registered classes in MyECC. In the Self-Service Menu, click Registration, then click My class schedule.
• Check your account balance in MyECC. In the Self-Service Menu, click Financial Information, then click View Account and Make Payments. K-12 students who have completed the Steps for Dual Enrollment should see the message "No account balance to pay."
• Use the Online Bookstore to look up and purchase any required textbooks/instructional materials for your class(es).
• Check your @elcamino.edu email address regularly. Go to outlook.com/elcamino.edu in your web browser, or add your @elcamino.edu email address to your computer/mobile device as an Office365 account.
• If you registered for an Online or Hybrid class, your Canvas account will be created for you automatically (usually overnight). Make sure you can sign into Canvas before the start of the class.
  • NOTE: Your registered classes will not appear in Canvas until the instructor publishes the class, or the first date of the class (whichever is first).
• Review the Academic Calendar to learn important information about the term, including the Last Day to Drop Without Notation on Permanent Record and Last Day to Drop with a 'W' should you need to drop a class.
  
  

Enrolled courses and grades earned will appear on your El Camino College transcript for college credit.

• NOTE: Final grades are submitted by instructors up to 7 days after the End Date of the class, and only then become visible on a student's El Camino College transcript.

Any and all high school credit is determined by your high school. Each high school sets their own policies and procedure to obtain credit, but commonly involves submitting your El Camino College transcript after you receive your final grade.

Your unofficial transcript is available at any time in MyECC. This is sometimes enough to submit to your high school to receive high school credit.

If your high school (or other institution) requires official transcripts, you can order those from the Transcripts & Records webpage to be sent directly to those institutions.

NOTE: We recommend students check their unofficial transcript first, so that you know what courses/grades are included on your official transcript prior to ordering.
