Included in the requirements for SAP is a student’s adherence to the Time to Degree Policy. The length of time to complete the degree for each program (Time to Degree Policy) is summarized in the table below:
| Degree | Usual Time (Years) | Maximum Limit (Years)* |
|---|---|---|
*These time limits may be extended by one year when granted by the respective Program Director or a program committee for extenuating and/or compelling cases.
All programs also have Program Specific Satisfactory Academic Progress policies and these are detailed in their corresponding section of the Handbook.
