Time Limits for Completing Degree Requirements

You have a total of seven calendar years within which to complete all requirements for your graduate degree. All course work (including any transfer credits), field work, practicum, internships, thesis or dissertation defense, comprehensive exams, and other activity required for your degree must be completed within the seven years leading up to and including the date you receive a graduate degree.

Note that you must take credit-bearing courses during the Fall semesters and Spring semesters to remain an active student. If you do not take a credit-bearing course in one of those semesters, you will have to apply for readmission to the Graduate College when you wish to resume your studies.
