Earn your bachelor's degree in four years or we will pay for the rest. Guaranteed.
To be eligible for the guarantee, you must:
- Be a full-time, first-time freshman in the Fall 2019 entry term or later upon matriculation at Siena College
- Maintain good academic, behavioral (defined by not being on disciplinary probation) and financial standing each semester (no financial holds on your account)
- Maintain full time status as an undergraduate for eight consecutive semesters
- Meet the minimum grade requirement for courses in your declared major
- By the end of each academic year (for those who begin studies in the fall semester this would be the end of the spring semester) have earned undergraduate credits as follows:
- 30 undergraduate credits by end of freshman year
- 60 undergraduate credits by end of sophomore year
- 90 undergraduate credits by end of junior year
- 120 undergraduate credits by end of senior year
- Declare a major prior to earning 60 credit hours. If you change your major after earning 60 credit hours, it is recommended that you meet with the Dean’s office or your department chair to map out a curriculum plan. If the plan would require a 9th semester or beyond, you would no longer be eligible for the 4 year guarantee.
- The four-year graduation guarantee applies to only one undergraduate major that would normally be earned in four years (i.e. 3/2 Engineering major excluded).
