All requirements for the degree must be completed within five years from the end of the semester in which the first graduate course is completed. This policy applies to all courses, whether taken prior to admission and accepted for credit. Courses completed at another accredited college or university prior to official admission may be approved at the time of admission if a course description is provided with the student's application. Courses undertaken for transfer credit after admission must have prior approval before the student registers.
Transfer credit is limited to two graduate courses.
