New Student Orientation
On this Page
Class of 2024, welcome to the ECU College of Education! In accordance with the UNC System’s decision to move summer classes online, ECU had to make the difficult decision to move orientation to a virtual format. We are disappointed that we cannot host all of you on our beautiful campus this summer; however, we are dedicated to helping you through this transition and to sharing information about our college with you.
For more information about ECU’s orientation and virtual modules, visit orientation.ecu.edu.
