Need to Apply for Admission Again
Students need to apply for admission again if they do not register for consecutive fall and spring terms; or if they applied for the wrong term; or to update their College Enrollment Status.
Follow the instructions below to submit a new application for admission.

Start a New Application
Once signed in, click the button to Start a New Application.
Make sure you apply for the correct term you wish to start taking classes, i.e. Summer Term, Fall Semester, Winter Session, or Spring Semester.
On the Education page, select what your College Enrollment Status will be at the start of that term.
- If you will be a K-12 student, select “Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time” to be eligible for Dual Enrollment
- If you will be attending El Camino as a college student after high school, select "First-time student in college (after leaving high school)"

After your new application is submitted, you will receive another Welcome Email from El Camino College. You will retain your existing El Camino College Student ID Number and MyECC username and password — only your account will be updated starting the term for which you applied.
