529 Plans

Below is the list of 529 plans that Student Accounting Office bills directly and places the payment on the students account at the beginning of each semester:

• Florida Prepaid
• Mississippi Prepaid
• Nevada Prepaid
• Michigan Education Trust
• Alabama Prepaid
• College of Illinois
• South Carolina
• Texas

Before we can bill for the above 529 plans, we will need an authorization from the provider prior to 5:00PM on schedule cancellation day. If you do not plan on using your 529 plan for the upcoming semester, please let our office know.

If you have a 529 plan with a provider that is not listed above, contact your 529 plan representative to determine the requirements to release payment to ECU (“the University”). Typically, plans will require the completion of a withdrawal request form to indicate the amount you wish to withdraw to pay to the University. All payments should include your student Banner ID number. Please be aware of the payment due dates to avoid schedule cancellation when paying through a 529 plan. If you anticipate payment from your 529 plan may arrive after the schedule cancellation due date, please contact the Cashier’s Office before 5PM on the day of schedule cancellation to provide documentation of the anticipated funds. Documentation should clearly identify the funds from your 529 plan are available and payment to cover the student’s outstanding balance is in process. Documentation can be emailed to the Cashier’s Office at cashier@ecu.edu. For further questions, you may also contact the Cashier’s Office by phone at 252-328-6886.
