Degree/Certificate Time to Completion

Degree/Certificate Time to Completion

Students must complete their program within a designated time to ensure that the skills, knowledge and abilities they acquire remain current in their field of study. Time-to-degree begins with their first course of study as listed on their degree plan including any transferred courses.

 

Students who withdraw from the university will be reviewed for eligibility to return. Those who have exceeded or will exceed the program’s time-to-completion requirement must submit an exception request to be considered for readmission. Eligibility considerations include, but are not limited to, the feasibility of completing the program within the required timeframe and whether significant revisions have been made to program objectives. Students may be required to retake courses. Refer to Transfer Credit Policy for additional information regarding transfer of credits.
