East Central College has a rolling admissions policy. Applicants are accepted year-round for the upcoming semester. Students are encouraged to apply for admission, complete financial aid paperwork, take placement testing (as required), and register as early as possible.
Students can still register for classes outside of these recommended timelines. These are recommendations only for best class availability.
