Students can learn more about a new program that guarantees to get freshmen out of college in four years at an information session at 8 p.m. tonight in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

EIU4 is a first-time program for full-time freshman who aspire to graduate in 2006, Josh Hayes, EIU4 coordinator said. Hayes will be presenting the details of the program tonight and encourages all freshman to attend.

“EIU4 is a graduation incentive program designed to assist undergraduates in completing their degrees in a timely manner,” Hayes said. “It provides the support and the services necessary to complete a degree in four years or less.”

As long as a student meets all of the programs requirements, Hayes said EIU4 guarantees a degree.

Hayes will discuss these requirements and other issues related to timely degree completion at length tonight.

“I will describe the program, outline the benefits and discuss eligibility and the application process,” Hayes said. “Last but not least, I will answer any questions anyone may have.”

The EIU4 information session follows “Making College Count,” which is an informative presentation that targets all students.
