Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan FAQ
1. What is the guaranteed tuition rate plan?
The guaranteed tuition rate plan provides for a constant tuition rate, as set by the
Eastern Illinois University Board of Trustees, for four continuous years beginning with
the term of a qualifying student's initial enrollment at Eastern Illinois University.
2. Who qualifies for the guaranteed tuition rate plan?
The guaranteed tuition rate plan applies to any undergraduate student admitted 2004
fall semester or after who qualifies for resident or non-resident tuition status at the time
of their initial enrollment in one or more credit classes in an undergraduate or certificate
program at Eastern Illinois University.
3. What is the length of the guaranteed tuition rate plan?
The length of the guaranteed tuition rate plan is four continuous academic years
beginning with the term of a qualifying student's initial enrollment at Eastern. Four
continuous academic years means any sequential combination of four fall semesters,
four spring semesters, and four summer sessions commencing with the semester of
initial enrollment. The period is extended for undergraduate degree programs approved
by the University for completion in more than four years. The extension is limited to the
minimum number of additional semester(s) to complete the program as approved by
the University. These programs and the number of additional semesters required are:
Special Education/Early Childhood Education Dual/Elementary Education
Dual/Secondary Education Dual - 3 additional Semesters
Any undergraduate degree program involving teacher certification--1 additional
semester
4. What will happen if I do not graduate before my guaranteed tuition rate plan expires?  
If you are not enrolled in one of the programs listed as requiring more time to complete,
your guaranteed tuition rate plan will expire after four continuous academic years. Upon
re-enrollment as an undergraduate following the expiration of your guaranteed tuition
rate plan, you will be placed on another guaranteed tuition rate plan but at a different
rate. The new tuition rate will be the rate that was in effect the year after your initial
enrollment.  If your second guaranteed tuition plan expires you will no longer be eligible
for a guaranteed plan.  Your tuition rate will change each year.
For example: A student who initially entered in the 2006 fall semester, and is not
enrolled in one of the programs identified as taking more than four continuous
academic years to complete, does not graduate by the end of the 2010 summer
session. Upon re-enrollment for the 2010 fall semester, the student will be charged the
same rate as students who initially enrolled in 2007 fall semester, and that rate will
continue for two continuous academic years.
5. What if I do not maintain continuous enrollment at EIU?
Students who withdraw during the term of their guaranteed tuition rate plan retain their
original guaranteed tuition rate plan upon re-enrolling as an undergraduate provided their
original guaranteed tuition rate period has not expired. Generally, if the original
guaranteed tuition rate period expires, the student will be placed on the guaranteed
tuiton rate plan established one year after the student initially enrolled. If the student's
second guaranteed tuition rate plan period expires, the student will no longer be eligible
for a guaranteed rate.
6. What is the tuition rate for a student who first enrolls as a non-resident and
later establishes residency?
Each guaranteed tuition rate plan has a resident tuition rate and a non-resident tuition
rate. A student who first enrolls at the University begins a guaranteed tuition rate plan
at the non-resident rate. For the semester immediately following the establishment of
residency (as stated in the University Catalog), the tuition rate would switch to the
resident tuition rate and continue at that rate for the time remaining in the originally
established guaranteed tuition rate plan.
7. Who can answer my questions about the guaranteed tuition rate plan?
Contact the Student Accounts Office at (217) 581-3715.
8. Are there any circumstances that can extend the guaranteed tuition rate plan?

A student called to active military duty or a student who withdraws for medical reasons
in accordance with the University withdrawal policy may be eligible for an extension of
their plan. Questions regarding the eligibility for an extension should be directed to the
Registrar at (217) 581-3511.
9. If I am eligible for a guaranteed tuition rate plan, can I opt out and take the
continuing tuition rate instead?
No.
10. If I attend part-time, will the length of the plan be extended?
No. The length of a student's guaranteed tuition rate plan is not affected by the number
of credits taken in a given semester or whether the student registers and enrolls at all.
11. How do I know what plan I am on?
Contact the Student Accounts Office at (217) 581-3715.
12. If I enroll as a guest student, not admitted to a degree program, will my
tuition rate be guaranteed for four years?
No. Guest (non-matriculated) students are not admitted to a degree program and are
not eligible for a guaranteed tuition rate plan. If a guest student subsequently applies
for admission and is admitted to a degree program, the student will be placed in the
guaranteed tuition rate plan in effect at the time of their first enrollment following
admission to the degree program.
13. How does study abroad affect someone on a guaranteed tuition rate plan?
The length of your tuition rate plan is not affected if you elect to enhance your
educational experience with study abroad.
