Payment Plan

ECC payment plans keep money matters simple! There's no more convenient way to pay educational expenses and manage your budget. Payment plans are not loan programs. No interest or finance charges added. Instead, payments are automatic - set them and forget them. A $25 non-refundable service fee per semester applies to use payment plans.

  • View your current payment plan status
  • Automatic payments using a credit card, debit card or electronic check

Eligibility Requirements

As classes are dropped and added, the payment plan balance will be adjusted automatically. An email with the new payment amount will be sent to the email address set up on the payment plan.
