Tuition and Fees

Students should also consider other expenses (meals, books, transportation, etc.), which will vary widely from student to student. Book charges for some fulltime students may be as high as $900 per semester. A student whose funds are limited must plan carefully for a workable budget. ECC recognizes that many students need financial assistance in order to attend college. To help them, the Financial Aid Office administers various types of federal and state aid. Counselors also have information and can give advice concerning employment opportunities and methods of handling personal finances.
