*Students who withdraw and return are included in their original class. **If a student graduates mid-year, the additional fall term is counted as another year. ***Summary of Degree Requirement Policies:

1989 New Students: Students are required to complete their degree requirements after eight regular terms of residence. Exceptions to the eight term limit are determined on a case by case basis. This policy was abandoned in 1999.

1999 New Students: Students are strictly limited to completion of all degree requirements within 10 regular and five short terms comprising five academic years (including transfer terms, terms abroad, off-campus field studies and internships). Requests for an eleventh term must be submitted to the Student Admissions and Academic Standing (SAAS) Committee.

2003 New Students: Students are expected to complete all degree requirements—including transfer terms, terms abroad, off- campus field studies, internships, and the addition of minors or second majors—within four academic years. Students who, for good reason, are unable to complete degree requirements within eight regular terms, may fill out a Request for an Extension of Terms form (which must include a Term Curriculum Plan, along with a letter explaining the reason(s) the extension is needed) and submit it to the Associate Provost for Advising and Academic Success. Plans not approved by the Associate Provost may be appealed to the Student Admissions and Academic Standing Committee.

2013 Eight Term Rule: Students are expected to complete all degree requirements within four academic years, or eight regular terms, including transfer terms for transfer students, terms abroad, off-campus field studies, internships, and the addition of minors or additional majors, if any. Failure to follow the approved Curriculum Plan submitted as part of the Declaration of Primary Major process does not constitute a valid reason for needing an extension of terms. Students who, for good reason, are unable to complete degree requirements within eight regular terms, may submit a Request for an Extension of Terms form (which must include a revised Curriculum Plan and an accompanying letter explaining the reason(s) the extension is needed) to the Office of Academic Services. Students proposing an Independent Major that requires more than eight terms, even if a prior extension of terms was approved for another major, should include this request with their completed proposal; approvals will be coordinated by the Director of Academic Services and the Dean of Curriculum and Student Learning.) Requests for a one or two-term extension not approved by Academic Services may be appealed to the Student Admissions and Academic Standing (SAAS) Committee. All requests for more than 10 terms of attendance are reviewed by the SAAS Committee.
