No, this isn't common at all! Occasionally, students are admitted following a rejection, but typically this is only after launching a vigorous appeal ... and such appeals are rarely successful.
Have you checked your ECU admissions portal? Is that where you first learned that you were rejected? If you haven't looked there recently, do it now. Then you should definitely call ECU and iron out the confusion. Explain when and how you were notified of your rejection and then report what the portal says today (and what the letter in the mail indicated).
It seems as if every year, at least one college sends out erroneous “Congratulations" letters to applicants that they'd actually intended to deny. But it is indeed unusual for a school to congratulate a student who's already been denied!
