Elgin Community College Email Services

ECC is committed to supporting students who will be transitioning to alternative modes of instruction, particularly online, and to addressing the technology needs of ECC students to the greatest extent possible. This initiative is in line with the college’s Shared Value of Equity, by making sure students who do not currently have access to the technology needed are helped with a smooth transition to online instruction.
