Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply to the college?
Apply online by visiting: www.compton.edu and click the Apply Online button in the upper right corner. New and returning students (those who have not attended for two primary terms) must complete a new application. Select the Begin Application button.
How do I use MyECC?
Visit www.compton.edu and click the MyECC button in the upper right corner. Select STUDENT and log in with the username and password you received when you submitted your admissions application online.
How do I find my MyECC email account?
In MyECC, select ECC Email under ECC Links on the right side of the page, and use your MyECC username and password to login. Or go to mail.elcamino.edu directly.
How do I find my ID Number?
Your student ID number will be emailed to you 48 - 72 hours after you submit your online application. The ID number can also be found when you generate an unofficial transcript under Web Services; when you register for classes; or by going to the Admissions and Records Office with a picture ID.
What if I have missed my registration appointment?
The registration date and time is the earliest time a student can register online. The student may register any time after the appointment time on MyECC.
I am a returning student, what do I do if I don't have a current registration appointment?
Re-apply to the college through www.compton.edu to obtain a new registration appointment time. Whenever a student does not enroll for more than two semesters (fall and Spring), the student needs to re-apply to the college to receive a new registration time.
How do I clear prerequisites for a class?
If prerequisites have not been met, the student needs to meet with a counselor to clear the prerequisite in order to register for the class. For math and English, unless the student has taken the prerequisite class at another college and provides proof to a counselor, the student may be required to take the assessment test. The college will only accept Accuplacer test scores from another community college.
How do I change my address, Social Security number or my name?
A student’s address can be updated in MyECC or in person at the Admissions and Records Office. Changes to your social security number, name, date of birth, and other personal information must be updated in person with a picture ID in the Admissions and Records Office.
How do I go about requesting transcripts?
If you attended El Camino College on or after fall 2006, official transcripts may be ordered online at www.compton.edu/studentservices/admissionandrecords. Select the Transcript link on the left. You may also request transcripts in person at the Admissions and Records Office with a picture ID. If you attended Compton College prior to Fall 2006, you need to request a Compton College transcript using www.Parchment.com or mail in your request.
