Students

🌟 Welcome to ECU CONNECT— Your Success Tool

ECU CONNECT is ECU’s early alert and connection system designed to help you stay on track and succeed in your classes. Through ECU CONNECT, your instructors can send you feedback about how you’re doing — whether it’s celebrating your achievements (Kudos), pointing out areas where you might be struggling (Flags), or connecting you with helpful campus resources (Referrals).

When your instructor sends a notification, it goes straight to your 📧 ECU email and appears on your ECU CONNECT page. Your advisor and success team also receive a copy so they can support you right away.

👉 If you get a notification about academic difficulty, don’t wait — take action:

👩‍🏫 Meet with your instructor

🗣️ Talk with your academic advisor

📚 Use tutoring or other support services

✍️ Improve your study habits

📅 Go to all your classes

ℹ️ Important to know: Not all instructors use ECU CONNECT, so you may not receive a flag or kudo in every class. If you don’t get a notification, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing poorly (or perfectly). When in doubt, always check in with your instructor about your progress.

🔑 Logging in is easy:
