All requirements for master and doctoral degrees must be completed within a six-year period once a student matriculates into a degree program, with the exception of TESOL (4 years) and MBA (3 years).  The student’s academic dean may extend this period upon written request from the student for justifiable reasons. This extension request must be supported by the graduate coordinator before submission to the academic dean. Once a student matriculates into a graduate program, there will be an absolute limit of ten years to complete all degree requirements.
