All CCAS graduate students must complete their program within the maximum allowed time to degree:
- PhD programs = 8 years or 16 semesters (excludes summer)
- PsyD Program = 5 years or 10 semesters (excludes summer)
- Master’s programs = 4 years or 8 semesters (excludes summer)
- Graduate Certificate programs = 3 years or 6 semesters (excludes summer)
Students who will not complete their degree within this time frame must submit an extension request as soon as they expect they will not complete on time. Students should submit a detailed completion timeline with an extension request. It is not guaranteed that program extensions will be approved.
The Student Services Team will send a notice to students and DGS's when the student is within one year of their degree completion.
