It is a tuition invoice and a class schedule all in one which should arrive by mail within a week of registering, unless you registered close to a tuition due date. In that event or in the event your registration statement is lost in the mail, undelivered, or misplaced, go online to accessECC or stop by the Student Accounts Office, SRC 141, Main Campus. Remember, you are responsible for paying your tuition on time.
Other Ways to Pay Bills
College Illinois (or other State 529 Plan)
If you participate in College Illinois, you must bring in a new voucher form each term by contacting College Illinois prior to enrolling in classes. Turn in the College Illinois voucher form to Student Accounts, SRC 141, Main Campus, immediately after you enroll to ensure that you will not be dropped from your classes.
Chargebacks & Joint Agreements
If you live in another community college district, you must first visit that college to obtain either a chargeback or joint agreement form. This form must be turned into the Registration Center when you enroll. A new form is required each term. View Joint Agreement Programs»
Third Party Sponsors
If your tuition will be paid for by a third party, you must obtain either a voucher or a letter on letterhead indicating the third party’s willingness to be billed for your classes. The letter must include the student name and address, billing instructions along with an authorizing signature from the third party. A new voucher or letter is required each term and must be turned into Student Accounts, SRC 141, Main Campus, the same day you register to ensure you will not be dropped from your classes.
