Payment Plans
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 are added. Instead, payments are automatic—set them and forget them.
Enrollment Benefits
- Enroll in a payment plan so you can pay your balance in installments
- View your current payment plan status
- Automatic payments using a credit card, debit card, or electronic check
- Receive email reminders about upcoming payments
- Receive email notifications as your plan adjusts to changes in your account status
Eligibility Requirements
- Have a minimum of $250 in tuition and fees for credit classes
- Have a U.S. checking account, savings account, or valid credit card. See information for international students
- Choose only one payment plan per semester
- You need your user ID | show me my ID
- You need your password | get or reset my password
As classes are dropped and added, the payment plan balance will be adjusted automatically. ECC will email the new payment amount to the email address on the payment plan. A notification will be sent via email and the postal service for any payment returned/denied for any reason. Review payment policies.
