Summer is almost here. The time for ice cream, flip-flops, and sunshine. But...what if you could still enjoy all those things while getting ahead in your education journey? 

Yes, it’s possible. Summer classes at Elgin Community College. That’s right. 

We know what you’re thinking — “Summer is for relaxing!” But summer classes aren’t here to ruin your pool vibes. They’re here to speed up your goals with accelerated class schedules and flexible offerings. 

Here are five reasons why signing up is the hottest thing you could do: 

  • Get ahead. Even taking one class can lighten your fall or spring course load.  
  • The term is shorter! Meaning you can knock out the class and still have time to chill. 
  • ECC’s smaller class sizes offer more support. 
  • Flexible offerings like online classes allow you to fit college into your life. 
  • Affordable tuition can help you save up to $1,000 compared to traditional institutions. 

Not sure what classes to take? Meet with an academic advisor to discuss what courses would be best. Don’t let this opportunity melt away! Sign up, show up, and still enjoy your summer while getting ahead! Register now before all the good seats are taken at elgin.edu/startnow.
