What is NC Promise?

The North Carolina Promise Tuition Plan is a program of the State of North Carolina established with the intent of increasing access to a quality university education through the University of North Carolina system. Beginning Fall 2018, NC Promise dramatically reduced student costs at three UNC system campuses: Elizabeth City State University, Western Carolina University, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Thanks to this program, tuition for all undergraduate students at Elizabeth City State University has been further reduced to $500 per fall and spring semesters for in-state students and $2,500 for out-of-state students. Through the NC Promise Program, the state of North Carolina is supplementing this cost so that students pay less while ECSU continues to deliver the highest quality education. Campus-related fees for students and on-campus residency costs apply, so it is important for parents and students to understand the full cost of attendance.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR NC PROMISE TUITION?

All undergraduate students attending Elizabeth City State University will pay the reduced student tuition costs beginning

in Fall 2018. This includes both new and returning full-

time students, part-time students, transfer students, students in online programs

and international students. No additional application is needed,

and there are no eligibility requirements to take advantage

of NC Promise.Please note these changes do not apply

to graduate programs.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT COMPETITION FOR

ADMISSION?We expect a higher than

normal number of applications beginning Fall 2018. While a set tuition price is guaranteed

through NC Promise, admission to ECSU is not. A larger applicant pool will likely increase competition for available space in each

incoming class.

WILL THIS COST INCREASE OVER TIME AS TUITION

TYPICALLY DOES?Because the specific amounts

are included in legislation, increases to the $500 and

$2,500 student tuition costs will have to be set by the

state legislature as needed in response to inflation or other

factors. At this time, we do not know whether increases over time are intended or will be

considered.

HOW WILL ECSU CONTINUE TO OFFER HIGH-QUALITY

EDUCATION WHILE DROPPING COSTS?

The NC Promise Tuition Plan will not affect accreditations, academic offerings, student

support or campus experience. In fact, the reduced cost is

likely to allow the institutions to attract the highest

quality students, resulting in an enhanced learning

environment.

WHY DID OUR STATE DECIDE TO CREATE THE NC PROMISE

TUITION PLAN?This significant investment

in access to higher education honors the state’s constitutional commitment to make higher education

available to all citizens “as free as is reasonably possible.” It also supports economic development in the state by helping North Carolina meet demands for a well-

educated workforce, increasing recruitment of high-performing

out-of-state students, and decreasing college

indebtedness.

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO PART-TIME STUDENTS?

Tuition will be prorated for part-time undergraduate

students.
