Using the UC ELC School Portal

This site is for use by authorized individuals only. Unauthorized attempts to upload or alter information on this site are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under state and federal law.

UC ELC School Portal Authentication System

Using the assigned “initial access code”, authorized ELC high school users register on the UC ELC School Portal and select their User ID and Password. You must not share the initial access code with unauthorized users and must not disclose the selected User ID and/or Password or secure access procedure to others. You must notify the ELC program in the event that your initial access code, User ID and/or password are lost or compromised. Site use privileges will be revoked if unauthorized use is determined.

Registered User Privacy

Safeguarding the personal information you may give us while registering on the UC ELC School Portal is important to us. Information about you collected during the registration process includes your name, telephone number and email address. The UC ELC program restricts access to your personal information to those individuals and entities that need to know this information in order to support the ELC data submission process and provide information about UC events for top students.

Student Information Privacy

Student record information submitted by the high school (including the student name, address, date of birth, email address, and transcripts) will be utilized only by the University of California to implement and support the ELC program, to evaluate the ELC program, and to invite students to apply. Only University of California personnel and their authorized agents will have access to student records. Privacy laws protect student’s personal data and transcripts. In order to legally release this information to UC to support the ELC program, the high school must have authorization from the parents or legal guardian. Students who are 18 or older should sign the authorization for release of their data. Schools participating in the ELC program have the responsibility for obtaining authorization prior to forwarding the student information. Sample authorization letters and forms are provided on the UC ELC School Portal that high schools can choose to adapt for obtaining parental permission to release student information to ELC.
