The Four-Year Plan


Iowa State is guaranteeing students willing to stick to a 
schedule that they can graduate in four years. 

Beginning this semester, entering freshmen with the proper 
academic preparation may enter into a contract with the 
university to graduate in four years. As part of their 
contract, students agree to take 15 to 18 credits each 
semester and enroll in courses when they are available -- 
even if the courses are not offered during the students' 
preferred times.

The university, in turn, promises to provide these students 
with experienced academic advisers who can help them develop 
their four-year plans and guide them through their college 
years. If students are unable to get into the classes they 
need to graduate, university officials will try to substitute 
equivalent courses or independent study assignments, or waive 
the requirements.
