Wartburg College offering tuition-free fifth year to current students

A private college in northeast Iowa is offering its current students an extra year at no tuition cost in the wake of disruptions caused by the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic. Wartburg College President Darrel Colson made the announcement on Monday about the offer, which would allow full-time students during the 2020-2021 academic year the opportunity to enroll for a fifth year. The goal, Colson said, was to allow students to “get the full Wartburg experience,” particularly with activities outside of the classroom that have been subject to greater disruptions.
