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 NON-REFUNDABLE $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 can now apply online but must print two copies of the confirmation page and mail in along with the SAT/ACT fee waiver.

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 the College Board/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 - This must match your NCWISE name (use the name that appears on your report card, or check with your high school counselor).
    • NCWISE Student ID - Your NCWISE Student ID is your public high school student identifier number and can be found on your report card. Providing the NCWISE Student ID is voluntary and will give you the opportunity to request your high school transcript electronically.
    • Current High School
    • Date of Birth
    • E-mail Address
    • Gender
  • Be currently enrolled, or enrolled at the time of graduation, at a participating public high school in North Carolina that has converted from the SIMS system to NCWISE to manage student data. If you are not sure about your school's current status, or its status at the time you graduated, 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.
