Welcome To
East Carolina University
On July 2, 1908, former governor Thomas Jordan Jarvis, considered to be the father of East Carolina University, made the
following remark as he broke ground for a teachers training school where Jarvis Residence Hall now stands:
“We can never begin to calculate the value it will be to North Carolina.”
The teachers college, chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly on March 8, 1907, as a two-year normal school,
opened its first regular session on October 5, 1909, with 174 men and women students enrolled. The first graduating class
received diplomas on June 6, 1911. The years that followed revealed the accuracy of Jarvis’ statement.
Since its inception in 1907, East Carolina has evolved from a teachers training school to a national research university. The
student population has grown from 147 to over 25,000. The campus now includes more than 160 buildings in four locations:
the central campus, health sciences, athletics, and west research campus. The university’s academic programs are housed in
ten colleges and professional schools, including the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University.
East Carolina University has become the institution that was envisioned by its early leaders, fulfilling its motto, “to serve.”
Today’s leadership continues to build upon the foundation laid by Robert H. Wright, the first president of the university:
We will give to the rising generation the purest inheritance of the nation and better preparation than has ever been given
to a preceding generation. This school is an expression of that determination; it was built by the people, for the people,
and may it ever remain with the people, as a servant of the people.
In North Carolina, all public educational institutions that grant baccalaureate degrees are part of The University of North
Carolina. Of the sixteen constituent institutions of the multicampus state university, East Carolina University is the third
largest. The University of North Carolina includes Appalachian State University, East Carolina University, Elizabeth City State
University, Fayetteville State University, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, North Carolina Central
University, North Carolina School of the Arts, North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Asheville,
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro, the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Western
Carolina University, and Winston-Salem State University. The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, a residential
high school for gifted students, is an affiliated school of The University of North Carolina.
Our Mission
East Carolina University, a constituent institution of The University of North Carolina, is a public doctoral university committed
to meeting the educational needs of North Carolina and the mid-Atlantic region. It offers baccalaureate, master’s, specialist,
and doctoral degrees in the liberal arts, sciences, and professional fields, including medicine. The university is dedicated to
educational excellence, responsible stewardship of the public trust, and academic freedom. ECU values the contributions of
a diverse community, supports shared governance, and guarantees equality of opportunity.
The university’s motto is “servire,” meaning “to serve.” The university seeks to meet that obligation through the interrelated
components of its mission: service through education, research and creative activity, and leadership and partnership.
The educational mission is to provide students with a rich, distinctive undergraduate and graduate educational experience.
The university is committed to developing each learner’s ability to discover, evaluate, and communicate knowledge; to make
informed decisions; and to recognize a decision’s ethical dimensions. The university also is committed to imparting a sense
of citizenship and personal responsibility, fostering lifelong learning, and nurturing an understanding of the interdependencies
of people and their environments.
ECU’s research mission serves to advance knowledge, to encourage creative activity, to solve significant human problems,
and to provide the foundation for professional practice through the support of basic and applied research. The university is
committed to integrating research and creative activities in the educational experiences of students. It also is committed to
enriching culture and being a leader in innovative research applications.

Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is expected of every East Carolina University graduate student. A student’s instructor or individual
graduate advisory committee or an appropriate departmental graduate committee or advisor may initiate actions, in
accordance with Faculty Manual procedures, against a graduate student that is believed to have been engaged in academic
dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes: cheating, the giving or receiving of any unauthorized aid or assistance, or the
giving or receiving of unfair advantage on any form of academic work; plagiarism, copying the language, structure, ideas, and/
or thoughts of another and adopting those as one’s original work; falsification, statement of untruth, either verbal or written,
regarding any circumstances relating to academic work; and attempting any act which if completed would constitute an
academic integrity violation as defined above.
While academic dishonesty actions are taking place against a graduate student, the graduate student may not withdraw from
the university, drop a course in which academic dishonesty is suspected, take a comprehensive or final examination for a
degree, or submit a thesis or dissertation to the Graduate School.
Campus and Buildings
The main campus encompasses over 400 acres in an urban setting within the city of Greenville and is convenient to both the
downtown area and shopping centers. The campus is a pleasing mixture of architectural styles. The five million square feet of
academic, research, and residence facilities have modern appointments and are well equipped. The Health Sciences Campus,
located on 70 acres, houses the Brody School of Medicine and is the hub of the university’s health sciences program. The

CAMPUS Libraries
J. Y. Joyner Library
The main campus library at East Carolina University is Joyner Library, a facility where students can study alone or in groups,
check out books and DVDs, read journals and magazines, use computers, and get help using library materials and databases.
The library contains 1.4 million books, more than 2.5 million pieces of microform, and thousands of periodicals. In addition, all
students registered at East Carolina University, regardless of location, have access to the library’s subscription-based electronic
resources. Students can use these resources to find journal articles, read newspapers, and check out e-books without leaving
their home or dorm room. Access is provided through the library’s Web site at www.lib.ecu.edu. Student status is verified by
Pirate ID and password. In addition, the online Joyner Library catalog can be searched from any location.
The Circulation Desk is one of the first things patrons see when entering Joyner Library from the plaza. Services here include,
but are not limited to, the checking in or out of library materials, receiving help from library staff with locating items, and the
answering of questions about the academic research library system and its services. To check out materials and to access
the variety of services offered, bring your ECU OneCard or your distance education student card. The Reserve Collection
– consisting of materials placed on reserve by professors for their students to check out – is part of the Circulation area.
Another very popular service we provide for ECU students, faculty, and staff is the Pull & Hold service. Accessed through
the Interlibrary Loan Department’s Illiad system, this service provides patrons with the ability to request materials that are
available on the shelf, have them pulled by our staff, and then held at the Circulation Desk for pick-up. Laptops may be
checked out at the Circulation Desk for use in the Library. The laptops are equipped with the same programs as the lab
computers and include a wireless card for Wi-Fi Internet access. If you would like to use the large LCD and plasma screens
located in several of the library’s group study rooms to display images from your laptop, Circulation offers remotes, adapters,
and instructional guides for check out to ECU students. Video cameras and tripods are also available for checkout to ECU
faculty, staff, students and area educators. There is a staff member on duty the entire time the library is open so feel free to
stop by for assistance.
Joyner Library is a selective depository for US government publications. It provides access to government documents in many
formats, including print, CD-ROM, microform and Web. The Government Documents collection also includes Web guides,
international documents and more than 100,000 maps.
Through a worldwide network of thousands of libraries, Interlibrary Loan (ILL) provides ECU students, faculty, and staff with
research materials not available from Joyner Library – often within days for articles and one or two weeks for loaned items.
Whether the items are owned by Joyner Library or borrowed from another library, undergraduate distance education students
who live outside of Pitt County can use Document Delivery (DD) to have articles delivered by e-mail and to have books
and other library materials shipped to their home address. Visit the ILL/DD Web site to learn more and to place requests
using the ILLiad system: www.ecu.edu/cs-lib/accesssrv/ill/index.cfm. ILL staff members are happy to demonstrate ILLiad and
