A message from the campus:

If you can not enroll for the term for which you originally apply, you must notify our office in writing before the last day of registration for that term. Failure to do so will result in having to complete a new application and submitting a new application fee.
If you are interested in attending East Carolina for teacher certification and already have an undergraduate degree, do not fill out this application. You must apply through the Graduate School:

Application Instructions
Fill out the online application as thoroughly as possible. Your failure to provide complete, accurate, and truthful information on this application will be grounds to deny or withdraw your admission, or dismiss you after enrollment. When you are finished, click the 'SUBMIT' button on the left column of any application screen. When you submit your completed application, you will be asked to provide information for a valid credit or debit card to which the $60 application fee will be charged. Print the application agreement statement that appears after you submit the application.
Individuals wishing to utilize a College Board or American College Testing (ACT) fee waiver in lieu of the application fee must use the downloadable-printable version of the ECU Application for Admission found at
http://www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/admissions/upload/Corrected_Adm_Application.pdf, submit the completed application form via regular mail as these requests are manually processed and reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Fee waiver requests must include financial hardship documentation, including a signed request from a school official.
Submit transcripts from high schools and colleges you have attended in envelopes sealed by the school. High School seniors who have taken classes at a college/university need to send all college transcripts to Admissions.
SAT I/ACT scores should be sent directly from CEEB/ACT or included on the high school transcript. NOTE: If a student submits ACT scores it must include the supplemental writing section.
After admission and prior to entering East Carolina University, you must also submit an immunization and medical record. All students entering a North Carolina college or university are required to provide this information.
Please note that admission to the university does not guarantee admission to all degree programs, many of which have additional application procedures and requirements.

High School Transcripts
Some North Carolina public high schools have the capability to electronically send official high school transcripts when you apply online. We encourage you to visit your school counselor to verify coursework and grades prior to requesting an electronic transcript.
To send an electronic transcript, you must:
- Complete this online application.
- Make sure you have entered the following information in your profile and/or application:
- First and last name
- Date of birth
- NCWise ID (Your NCWise ID is your public high school student
identifier number. Providing the NCWise ID is voluntary and if provided
will give you the opportunity to request your high school transcript
electronically)
- Gender
- Current high school
- E-mail address
- Be currently enrolled at a participating public high school in North Carolina (one that has converted from the SIMS system to NCWISE to manage student data). If you are not sure about your school, check with your school counselor or office staff.
If these conditions were met when you submitted your application, you will then be presented with the option of sending your high school transcript electronically to that school.
