*Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan
Effective Fall 2004, a new tuition policy for freshmen and transfer students was implemented. This policy known as the Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan, maintains your first-year tuition rate at EIU for four continuous academic years and helps students and families plan for meeting the expenses of going to college. The Guaranteed Tuition Rate Plan applies to tuition only and does not cover fees, room and board or other college expenses. Click here for more information.
