At Indiana State University, there’s going to be a new program to help students graduate by offering to cover the costs of their tuition if they need to take a fifth year. The deal sounds too good to be true; and in a way, it can be considered as such. The catch for receiving this incentive is incoming freshmen for fall 2012 have to sign a pledge that they promise to basically do what they’re supposed to do in college in the first place: take 30-32 units a year, talk to their advisor to ensure they’re staying on track, and other stuff that 31 percent probably did out of common sense.
