Program Admission Details

  • Schedule an interview with the program director at toanderson@elgin.edu. After the interview, you will be given an enrollment form to register for BRG-101. Please note online registration is not permitted for BRG-101.
  • Students must obtain required forms from the Truck Driving Department that need to be completed and returned prior to registration for classes.
  • After registering for classes, you must pass a federal Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam & drug test. The DOT regulations govern commercial motor vehicle drivers' use of drugs and alcohol. As such, Elgin Community College is required to conduct mandatory drug and alcohol testing of students in the truck driving program at specific times and under specific conditions. These regulations are available in the Counseling Center, the Office of Student Life, and the Truck Driving Department.
  • All students must possess a current valid IL driver’s license.
