HOW DO I APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS?

HOW DO I PURCHASE MY BOOKS?

ESCC offers the All-In Textbook Rental Program to students. This program allows students to get their textbooks at a much lower price. Instead of paying a high price for textbooks that are used for a single semester, you can rent them directly from the bookstore for a discounted rate. The textbook rental rate is $25 per credit hour and will be billed to your student account at registration.

Students are automatically opted-in to the program. Visit the ALL-IN Program page to learn more.  

 

For those not using the ALL-IN Textbook Program, books can be purchased through the bookstore by: 

  • Visiting the bookstore to purchase and pick up
  • Purchasing books online at escc.edu/bookstore and picking them up in the bookstore (you must create an account once you go to the website)
  • Purchasing books online at escc.edu/bookstore and having the books shipped (you must create an account once you go to the website)

WHAT IF I NEED A LAPTOP FOR MY STUDIES?

If a student needs a computer to complete their assignments for their courses (in-person/online/hybrid), ESCC has laptops available to be checked out. These laptops are to only be used for school-related purposes, and students will be held personally responsible for any actions or compromised information resulting from the loss, theft, or misuse of the College-owned laptops. As there are a limited number of laptop computers available from Boll Weevil Central each semester, the students must do the following:

  1.  The student in need must complete a laptop request form at escc.edu/laptop.
  2. Sign and abide by the ESCC Laptop Loan Program Agreement and Information Technology Policies on Computer Use and Internet Access forms.

Laptops will be inspected each semester during the final examination week and must be returned immediately following the end of the semester.

HOW DO I REGISTER FOR CLASSES?

Once the admissions process is complete, students should contact an advisor to discuss the registration process. For more information, contact advising@escc.edu or visit the registration page at escc.edu/registration/.

HOW DO I LOOK UP MY CLASS SCHEDULE?

HOW DO I LOG INTO CANVAS?

Enterprise State is now using Microsoft MyApps single sign-on for students to access all their essential ESCC services, including Canvas and student email, in one dashboard.

Students will log into their MyApps account using their MyESCC login information. Once they log in, students will be redirected to set up a 2-Form Factor Authentication. For students using the mobile Canvas App, it will need to be uninstalled and then reinstalled to be prompted to sign in through Microsoft.

You will gain access to your courses on the first day! If you do not have access to your course on the first day it is very important that you send an email to the IT Helpdesk at  helpdesk@escc.edu.

HOW DO I VISIT BOLL WEEVIL CENTRAL (Advising, Tutoring, Library Services)?

Boll Weevil Central Advising will be open by appointment only for advisement regarding classes and dropping/adding courses, as well as testing services.  

Students can request an appointment for placement testing or advisement/changing class schedule by emailing advising@escc.edu. The student must have an appointment and a photo ID to take placement testing in the SAS Lab located in Snuggs Hall. 

Students who wish to seek ADA accommodations can email the ADA Coordinator at dfoster@escc.edu to meet by appointment only to discuss what ESCC can provide for accommodations. Please bring a doctor’s documentation to support the ADA needs you have. 

Boll Weevil Central Library

We will have several desktop computers for student use. In addition, students can access ESCC’s online resource databases (including JSTOR, ESCC’s Online Catalog, and Government Documents) under the Resources section at escc.edu/library. Steps on how to use each resource are available in each section.

CURRENT STUDENT FAQs

HOW DO I FIND MY ADVISOR AND WHAT IS AN ACADEMIC ADVISOR?

See the steps here for understanding the advising process. Academic Advisors assist you with selecting the classes each semester so you don’t waste time and money. You can find your assigned academic advisor by logging into the student portal at  escc.edu/myescc.  If you log in and do not see an assigned advisor, you can do two things: email advising@escc.edu or request someone to contact you using the Advisor Request Form.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR REGISTRATION?

See our schedule of classes and the process to register. To register for classes, you must be first be cleared to enroll by your assigned faculty or staff advisor. If you do not have a faculty or staff advisor, your student success advisor can clear you to enroll. Once cleared, you can log in to the student portal, at escc.edu/myescc. Please contact your advisor for more assistance.

HOW DO I REGISTER FOR COURSES? WHEN IS THE DEADLINE TO MAKE CHANGES TO MY SCHEDULE?

All add/drop deadlines are listed on the academic calendar. In the first week of classes, students can add/drop courses on their MyESCC through their “Registration” or “Drop/Add classes” option. In the first week of classes, there is a restricted add/drop period if you want the money back. After that date, students can still drop but not add classes outside of the registration period. No student is permitted to add or drop a course after the deadline unless certain circumstances permit an exception. A student may withdraw from a course after the add/drop deadline (please refer to the academic calendar for specific dates). The course will show on the student’s transcript with a “W”.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DROPPING AND WITHDRAWING FROM A COURSE?

Students can drop a course within the first two weeks of the semester. The course is removed from their schedule and does not show up on their transcript. After the add/drop period, a student may withdraw from a course until the withdrawal deadline (please refer to the academic calendar for specific dates). The course will show up on your transcript with a “W”.

HOW MANY CREDITS DO FULL-TIME STUDENTS NEED TO TAKE EACH SEMESTER?

Full-time students may register for 12-18 credits during the semester. While students can register for 12 credits, students planning to graduate in two years should take more than 12 each semester in most programs. Students wishing to register for more than 18 credit hours must obtain approval for the overload from the Dean of Instruction.

HOW DO I CHANGE MY PROGRAM OF STUDY?

Please contact the Office of the Registrar directly to update concentrations. Graduation requirements and sending transcripts are also through the Registrar. Please see anyone in the Student Center or e-mail advising@escc.edu for questions regarding your academic success.

WHAT IS PRIORITY REGISTRATION?

A student who has completed 30+ hours at the time of registration can be considered for priority registration.

CAN I REPEAT A COURSE?

Yes, you can repeat a class or classes for a better grade; however, only the last enrollment and grade will be used in computing the cumulative grade point average regardless of whether it was an improvement. Courses must be repeated at ESCC for the grade to be replaced in GPA calculation.

WHAT ARE MY DEGREE REQUIREMENTS?

Students can view their degree requirements in their MyESCC account.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY COLLEGE CLASSES WILL TRANSFER?

Please visit the Alabama Transfers website for requirements for the university to which you plan to transfer. This agreement is only for schools within the State of Alabama. For questions about transferring to a school in another state, please visit that university’s website and look over their requirements. Each university should have an Academic Catalog that you can view requirements.
