A SAFE RETURN TO CAMPUS After two years, El Camino College is excited to have students and faculty return to in-person learning for the Winter and Spring 2022 academic terms. As part of our plan to safely return to campus, the El Camino Community College District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to require all students, faculty, and staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 3, 2022, before the start of winter classes. This action aligns with the guidance and public health recommendations issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), California Department of Public Health, and the L.A. County Department of Public Health.

STUDENT EMERGENCY FUND HELPS STUDENTS AT A CRITICAL TIME The Student Emergency Fund was established in March 2020 in direct response to COVID-19, ensuring that students have what they need to stay in college and be successful is the mission of El Camino’s Student Emergency Fund, which has raised more than $231,850 and helped more than 700 students through some difficult times.

This Emergency Fund supports tuition, fees, and textbooks. These supplemental funds also helped support students experiencing COVID-19 related financial hardships due to lost jobs and reduced wages that adversely impacted their rent, transportation and other living expenses.
