Other Plans

Dual Enrollment: A dual enrollment student is a  student obtaining a degree from ECU and has received permission from the Registrar  to take classes at another university or community college. In order to  receive financial aid, dual enrollment students are required to complete the Permission for Undergraduates To Take Courses From Foreign Institutions form in order to take classes through a Foreign Institution or Permission For Undergraduate To Take Courses From US Colleges/Universities Other Than East Carolina University form to take classes at other US Colleges/Universities. Students must submit a copy of  their permission form to our office. Once the permission form is  received the Office of Student Financial aid will initiate a Consortium  Agreement with the host institution. Eligibility for financial aid is  determined by the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), enrollment status, and Satisfactory Academic Progress.
 

Distance Education: A distance education student is a student who is taking classes online  through ECU. Eligibility for financial aid is determined by the  completion of the FAFSA, enrollment status, and Satisfactory Academic Progress.
