ACADEMIC STANDARDS

Ten-Year Limit on Credits

This policy applies to full-time and part-time undergraduate students first registered at the University for the Fall 1998 semester or later:

• students have ten years within which to complete their degree;
  
  
• only credits not older than ten years at the time a student is first registered at the University may be considered for transfer;
  
  
• only credits not older than ten years at the time for which a student requests graduation clearance are valid, unless these are transfer credits which meet the previous standard.
