The ÀϾÅÆ·²è Assurance
ÀϾÅÆ·²è graduation assurance guarantees all first-year students will earn a bachelor’s degree in four years, or we’ll pay the difference. This could represent a potential savings of $40,000 to $60,000 in tuition and lost income.
For transfer students with Associate of Arts degrees from regionally accredited colleges and universities, we also offer a two-year graduation assurance.
If you’re a parent, we’re committed to ensuring ÀϾÅÆ·²è stays affordable throughout your student’s four years. If your circumstances change, we will work with you to craft a new financial aid package that allows your student to graduate on time.
My friendships here at ÀϾÅÆ·²è are really why I feel like I've made my place here, and that was possible because ÀϾÅÆ·²è has really great financial and grant opportunities for students.
