Walsh University’s Four-Year Graduation Guarantee and Tuition Promise is our commitment to help you graduate on time and on budget. Not only does this allow you to pursue your life goals and start earning a return on your investment sooner, it also keeps you on track to meet graduation requirements during your time at Walsh. All you have to do is commit to Four-Year Graduation Guarantee during the first month of your fall semester, follow the steps to success, and you’ll graduate in four years at the same tuition rate you started at. Your tuition will be locked for all four years. Guaranteed.
If you meet all outlined responsibilities, but don’t meet the requirements to graduate in four years,
Walsh University will cover the tuition cost of your remaining coursework for up to two semesters, or you can have the option to take two graduate-level courses on us.
Note: All incoming Fall 2020 freshmen are guaranteed a tuition freeze regardless of whether or not they sign the Four-Year Graduation Guarantee.
What We’ll Do
- Assign you an academic advisor and later a faculty advisor in the department of your major to guide your progress toward on-time graduation
- Inform you about University curricular, co-curricular, and major requirements, and any changes to those requirements in a timely manner
- Provide the necessary course sequencing and scheduling for you to fulfill all degree requirements within four years
- Ensure that your tuition rate stays the same for all four years
STEPS TO SUCCESS FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
