The Austin Peay Experience is an initiative created by the President's Enrollment Taskforce in order to facilitate a unique experience at Austin Peay State University. This experience includes the 4-year graduation guarantee and the Experience Grant.

Austin Peay Experience

4-year Graduation Guarantee

The life you want begins at Austin Peay, and the sooner you start that life, the better. We know that life doesn’t include thousands of dollars in debt, so we’re guaranteeing that if you enroll in Summer 2024 or later, you will graduate in four years. If you don’t, we’ll pay whatever tuition remains for you to finish.
