Freshman Enrollment

Welcome to ECU!

Enrollment for beginning freshmen students for Fall 2024 will begin in April with our first Tiger Enrollment Day event on April 13. Beginning freshmen are invited to attend a Tiger Enrollment Day event to get their student ID, learn about exciting opportunities at ECU and plan their courses with an advisor. Students who need an ACCUPLACER test for course placement can also take the test at Tiger Enrollment Day. Beginning freshmen will receive sign-up information through the e-mail used on the ECU application. 

The first Tiger Enrollment Day events will be held on April 13, April 20, and May 4. Additional dates will be announced during the summer. Sign-up information will be sent during March. For information on signing up for an event, contact Admissions at 580-559-5628.  

Students who do not have a 19 or higher on the ACT in math and science have the option to either enroll in zero-level courses or successfully complete the ACCUPLACER exam in those subject areas. Beginning freshmen who do not have a 19 or higher in English and Reading on the ACT, and who also do not have a 3.0 high school GPA or “B” or higher in senior high school English have the option to either enroll in zero-level courses or successfully complete the ACCUPLACER exam in those subject areas. (A score of 510 in a subject area on the SAT is equivalent to a score of 19 in an ACT subject area).

We offer one ACCUPLACER testing session to all students free of charge, so we encourage students to test for any areas where they do not meet the ACT criteria during that testing session. Students can retake the ACCUPLACER one time, at least 30 days after the first test attempt, for a $15 retest fee (paid to the ECU Bursar). There is a maximum of two testing sessions per student. Please contact us at 580-559-5696 to schedule the ACCUPLACER exam.
