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 applications, admission requirements and determine associated deadlines at Undergraduate Admissions.
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.
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.

Admission to the university is determined by the director of undergraduate admissions.
