It just takes some planning and determination. Benefits of Finishing in Four •  Save that money. Each additional year of college can cost almost $23,000 (in state). This includes tuition, room and board, and fees. • Avoid debt. Staying in school beyond four years often means taking on more debt. •  Make that money. You lose wages you could earn working a full-time job. Tips to Finishing in Four •  Start in high school. Take advantage of the Move On When Ready dual enrollment program and start earning college credits while you’re still in high school. •  Plan and focus. Do your research and plan your course load as far out as possible. You can always adjust should you change your focus or if a course isn’t available. •  15 is the magic number. Try to maintain a 15 hour/credit course load each semester. •  Summer school is awesome. You don’t have to just take traditional classes to fulfill your credits. Summer internships and study abroad programs are great ways to get real world experience and fulfill your hours. •  Get help. Use any and all of the advising resources available to you. Meet with your college counselor regularly, confer with your professors, ask upperclassmen ques- tions, and make sure you are on the right track to meet your goals.
