College can be hard. THe Guide App helps you to navigate college and take the steps necessary to be successful. Go to your smart phone app store and search for GUIDE EAB. Select your school and then with the same sign on information you use for logging in, you can download the app.

Students can start racking up points by downloading the app and having it run while they are in class. The longer a student has the app running and their phone locked, the more points they can earn towards redeeming free food from local businesses such as Insomnia Cookies, Moe's, a free Subway sandwhich, 25% Papa Johns online codes, and many more online discounts. If the whole class does it, they'll earn points faster! 2X Tuesdays are awesome because students earn double the points.
