Payment Options
** Three options are available for payment of
tuition and fees. To assist with payment, ECU honors VISA ,
MASTERCARD and DISCOVER for tuition, room, and board.
OPTION 1: Pay tuition and fees in full by MAIL or IN-PERSON in
the Finance Office by 4:30 p.m.,
on the established deadline date.
OPTION 2: If tuition and fees are paid by an agency or
scholarship, the student must present agency voucher or
scholarship authorization to the Finance Office by the
established deadline.
OPTION 3: Partial payments may be accepted in the Finance Office
(108 Administration).
However, tuition must be paid in full by the established
deadline.
All accounts not paid by the established deadline will be placed
on "HOLD." A student will not be allowed to enroll in future
semesters, nor receive transcripts until their student account
is paid in full.
PLEASE NOTE: If you find that after having enrolled that you
will not be attending classes, you must cancel your enrollment
in writing immediately. Request for cancellation should be
processed in person or mailed to ECU Office of Admissions and
Records. The request may also be FAXED to (580) 559-5432 or
e-mailed to
parmstro@ecok.edu. ECU will
not cancel an enrollment due to non-payment. Failure to withdraw
from classes will result in money owed to the University for
tuition and fees, even though not attending.
