Extended business hours will be available on campus at Elgin Community College to support students from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, August 14 and August 21. Offices that will be open include academic advising, admissions, registration, financial aid, student accounts, and first stop. The extended Saturday hours are offered to incoming and returning ECC students who would like in-person assistance before the start of classes on Monday, August 23.

Placement testing is offered remotely and on-campus. Due to ongoing social distancing practices, appointments are limited. Please visit the Placement Tests page to access the remote placement tests. For individuals who do not have access to complete testing remotely, there is limited, appointment-only testing on-campus. Remote testing appointments can be made here.

The ECC Bookstore will also be open both Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students are encouraged to order materials online ahead of time at bookstore.elgin.edu. Students with questions about materials can contact the bookstore via email at eccbookstore@elgin.edu.
