Soar in Four (4-year graduation guarantee)

• Save money. Those additional semesters add up. When you commit to graduating in eight semesters, your budget will be smaller -- and more clearly defined.
• Accelerate your entry into the job market or graduate school. The sooner you earn your degree, the sooner you begin your career.
• Focus on academics. Earning 15 to 18 credits a semester and maintaining good academic standing guarantees you a first-class intellectual experience.

It's simple. First-year students pursuing four-year bachelor degrees (with the exception of those in architecture and landscape architecture) are automatically enrolled in the program. You don't even need to sign up! Here's how you'll hold up your end of the bargain:

• Keep in close contact with your Iowa State academic advisor, who will guide you in your academic decisions and keep you up-to-date with university policies and procedures.
• Take required courses at the times they are available.
• Maintain your registration at Iowa State during off-campus experiences.
• Be a responsible student. Register for classes promptly and monitor your progress on a regular basis through your personal degree audit and with your academic advisor. Manage your time wisely. Study.
• Keep your goals in sight.

If you keep up your end of the deal, Iowa State guarantees you will be able to get the classes you need to graduate.
