High schools that participate in the UC ELC program are emailed the ELC submission instructions each year in late April.
The submission instructions email includes the Initial Access Code to allow registration on the ELC School Portal website.
Rising seniors are students who have completed their junior year but not yet begun their senior year.
The ELC program collects student contact information for the top 15 percent of the school’s rising seniors during the summer
following the student’s junior year. If the school is selected to submit transcripts, the transcripts are due in September
to allow inclusion of coursework taken during the summer between junior and senior year.
The Rising Senior Class Size is the total number of students who have completed their junior year at your school
and are expected to be seniors at your school in the fall. We require schools to enter the total class size so that
when the school submits names of the top 15 percent of the class we can confirm the number of students submitted is
appropriate for the class size. For example, a school with a rising senior total class size of 250 should enter this
class size on the Register page and should submit student data for 15 percent of this number. With a class size of
250, the ELC program would expect 38 student names to represent the top 15 percent (37.5 rounded up to 38).
SIS stands for Student Information System and is the system your school uses to manage student data. If your school
has their own system, choose "Homegrown". If you know your school's SIS type but it isn't listed, choose "Other" and then
enter the SIS name. If you don't know your school's SIS type, choose "Other" and then enter "Unknown".
