English Language Learners (ELL) Student Services

A new English Language Learners (ELL) Student Services has been created in the Division of Educational Support Services division.

ELL Student Services helps English Language Learners have the best student experience at Community College of Philadelphia and increase their retention. ELLs are current and former students in the ESL program. When ELLs need assistance, we connect them to appropriate resources both inside and outside of CCP. These supports include tutoring, financial aid, health care, legal and immigration questions, children's resources, food, housing and much more.

Digital Course Materials

Community College of Philadelphia and Follett Higher Education Group have partnered to offer what we call “Digital Course Materials” courses, which use digital materials instead of physical textbooks. Students pay a discounted e-book rate, and the materials will be available in Canvas by the first day of class. This reduces overall costs for students, who receive the lowest price available for the course materials.
