A first-time freshman is a high school graduate (or soon-to-be high school graduate) or can provide high school equivalency transcript.
Complete the Online Application
The first step for any first-time student applying for admission to East Central Community College is to complete an online Application for Admission.
Submit Your Transcript
Submit your official final transcript from your high school to ECCC to the admissions office.
Official transcripts contain a school official signature and/or seal to demonstrate that is has been issued by the high school and include all necessary graduation information on secondary enrollment (courses, terms, and corresponding years of enrollment).
Transcripts may be submitted electronically from the school directly to the college using a secured network member site such as National Student Clearinghouse and Parchment, in-person, or by mail. Faxed transcripts are not considered official.
If you have not yet graduated, you may send a current partial transcript now and request your official final transcript be sent after graduation.
Home-school transcripts may be developed by the parent, legal guardian, or by a third-party home school transcription agency. At minimum, home school transcripts should:
- List the name of the home school name and address
- List all courses taken and dates completed
- Have a cumulative GPA calculated on a 4 point scale
- Include the graduation date (if graduated) or anticipated graduation date
- Be signed and dated by the “School Principal” which may be the parent or legal guardian
- If grades are conferred by a parent or legal guardian, home school transcripts must be notarized
- If grades are conferred by a third-party home school association or organization, home school transcripts are not required to be notarized
