Tuition Payment Options
To be considered paid in full, the ECU Cashier’s Office takes into account “Memo” or “Authorized” Financial Aid that has been awarded, and all other payment types referenced in “Tuition Payment Options” as long as all payment methods are received or notated on student accounts prior to the payment due date shown on your billing statement. If payments are not received by the close of business – usually 5:00 p.m. – on the due date your classes may be at risk of cancellation and subject to late fee assessment.
If you do not plan to attend, you must officially withdraw on, or before, the final cancel date. You will be responsible for payment if you do not officially withdraw.
The following methods of payment are accepted by ECU Cashier’s Office for payment of tuition, fees, housing and dining charges.
