Limitations
All requirements for the master's degree
must be completed within six years of the date of acceptance
into the program.
All work to be credited toward the doctoral
degree beyond the master's degree must be completed within
a period of 10 years from the date the doctoral credit is
first earned. No course credit beyond the master's degree
that is more than 10 years old at the time the doctoral
program is completed will be counted toward the doctorate.
Time limits are strictly enforced. Candidates
exceeding the time limit may be required to repeat the comprehensive
exam, replace out-of-date credits with up-to-date work,
and/or show other evidence of being up-to-date in their
major and minor fields. Students anticipating they will
exceed the time limit should apply for an extension before
the normal time period to complete the degree expires. Holding
a full-time job is not considered in itself sufficient grounds
for granting an extension.
