Payment Plan Information

Students and authorized users can sign up for a payment plan through ECU’s TouchNet Bill+Payment system.

To be eligible to sign up for a payment plan, students must have an attribute of “PKH” on their student record. Our office is not able to add an attribute.

Payment plans require a $20 plan fee each term. Students will have to enroll in a payment plan each term using TouchNet.

Students will be able to enroll in a payment plan until August 20, 2026 to secure their schedule.

Student accounts not paid in full (or participating in a Payment Plan) by August 20, 2026 may have a balance hold placed on their account to prevent registration.
