WOOSTER, Ohio—The pandemic has disrupted both academic and co-curricular experiences for college students across the country. ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ seeks to support our students by providing the fullest ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ experience possible in this difficult time, and has focused on creating flexibility for students and families. The ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Plus Program is part of that effort. The ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Plus Program provides the opportunity for students to complete their studies at ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ in a ninth or tenth semester, tuition free.
The conditions for eligibility are below.
The ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Plus Program is available to any ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ student who:
- Is enrolled as a full-time, degree-seeking ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ student for both the fall and spring semesters of the 2020-21 academic year.
- Has not yet completed degree requirements to graduate from ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ at the end of their eighth semester.

During the ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Plus Program, students must:
