All requirements for the Master of Science degree must be completed within six years.
As individual courses exceed this time limit they lose all value for degree purposes. Credits that are more than six years old at the time of first registration for graduate work are not transferable from other institutions.
Time limits are strictly enforced. Students exceeding the time limit may be required to successfully complete a comprehensive exam, replace out-of-date credits with up-to-date work, and/or show other evidence of being up-to-date in their major fields. Students anticipating that 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.
Time spent in active service in the U.S. armed forces will not be used in computing the time limit. However, career members of the armed forces should consult the graduate dean concerning the credit given to work completed before or during active military service.
