2021 - Registration begins for ECC summer sessions

Registration for summer credit classes at Elgin Community College is underway and will continue until the first day of classes for each summer session beginning on June 7, June 14, and July 12.  space permitting. New students can learn more about summer registration at elgin.edu/admissions/register-for-classes/. Registration for fall credit courses opens on May 10, 2021.

In a continued effort to prioritize the health and safety of ECC students, faculty, and staff, summer courses will continue to be primarily virtual, with select hybrid and in-person course sections. For the fall semester, an increased number of hybrid and face-to-face courses will be offered.

Course delivery definitions:

• Online asynchronous: Online asynchronous courses are delivered 100 percent online, with no face-to-face sessions required. Classes are taught entirely online following instructor timelines and learning outcomes. Students interact mostly through discussion boards and written messages, and all assignments are submitted online.
• Online synchronous: Online-synchronous courses are delivered 100 percent online with real-time specifically scheduled online interaction with the instructor and/or class. These classes allow for engagement in a remote classroom environment.
• Hybrid: Hybrid courses combine both face-to-face and online instruction.  
• Face-to-face: A small number of courses that do not lend themselves to online delivery may be held fully on-campus. This format is the traditional on-campus instruction where students and instructors meet in the same physical location at a scheduled time and day, but with reduced classroom capacities and COVID-19 safety protocols in place.

There are three summer sessions with classes beginning the weeks of June 7, June 14, and July 12. Fall semester daytime and evening traditional 16-week classes begin the week of August 23. Early registration is advised to get the best selection of courses and times.
