3.2.16 Duration of Study

The Faculty and Major-Field requirements that pertain to degrees awarded by the Faculty of Arts may change with every Calendar issue. The time of entry into a program in the Faculty of Arts is defined as the first session after admission to the program during which a student successfully completes any courses applicable to the program. A student's program is subject to the degree requirements that are in the Calendar current at the time of entry into the program. A student is allowed seven years counted from the time of entry into the program to graduate under these requirements.

Students who exceed this seven-year limit must consult with the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Programs and Student Affairs of the Faculty of Arts (or designate) who will decide on the degree requirements that will be applied for the proposed date of graduation.
