DE Student Application Guide

 

Dear Prospective ECU student,

 

We are glad you have decided to apply to East Carolina University. When completing your application be sure to mark “Online degree only” in the appropriate field (See examples below). This assists us in making sure that you will receive all the information you need as one of over 6000 ECU students who pursue their degrees without having to come to the campus. You can access online and printable applications, admission requirements and determine associated deadlines at Undergraduate Admissions.

 

ATTENTION: Due to record enrollment in the Fall 2008 Term, available space in the upcoming Spring 2009 Semester for seats in online undergraduate classes is very limited. Admission to ECU for online undergraduate programs in the Spring 2009 term will be more selective and competitive than in previous years. Remaining space for the Spring 2009 term will be awarded to the most academically qualified applicants on first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, prospective students who are interested in online undergraduate classes may not be able to enroll until the Summer 2009 term. For more information, call 1-800-398-9275 and select option 3.

 

Upon completion of your application and acceptance to the University please keep in mind the following:

 

Health form/immunizations: Immunizations are not required of distance education students; however if you plan to take face to face courses in the future you will need to have an up-to-date immunization on file with the ECU student health service.

 

Enrollment deposit: Distance education students are not required to pay an enrollment deposit upon acceptance to the University.

 

Parking permit: Distance education students do not need to purchase a parking permit.

 

On-campus orientation: Distance education students are not required to attend an on-campus orientation session unless required by their academic department. Online orientations and tutorials are provided for distance education students at www.options.ecu.edu by clicking Prospective Students, Orientation and Tutorials.

 

Application Process: All students must meet minimum requirements as specified in the current undergraduate catalog. Admission to the university is determined by the director of undergraduate admissions. ECU Admission Application forms, transcripts, and questions regarding admission must be directed to Undergraduate Admissions 252-328-6133.

 

Please note that admission to the university does not guarantee admission to all degree programs, many of which have additional application procedures and requirements.

 

We have a student services office designed to assist you with your educational goals. If we can be of assistance at any time, please feel free to contact us at options@ecu.edu . We look forward to working with you.
