Tuition Payment Options

-Schedules must be paid in full to be protected against cancellation for non-payment-

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 above as long as all payment methods are received or notated on student accounts prior to the late fee assessment and schedule cancellation dates. Payments not received by the close of business – usually 5:00 p.m. – on late fee assessment or schedule cancellation date will result in the application of late fees and/or schedule cancellation for non-payment.

Computer access is available in the Cashier’s Office
and staff will be available to assist with the on-line payment process.


The following methods of payment are accepted by ECU Cashier’s Office for payment of tuition, fees, housing and dining charges.
