Program Extension

If you are nearing your program end date, please talk with an international advisor as soon as possible. As long as there is a viable academic reason for the delay in graduating, we should be able to extend your program.

What are viable reasons?

• Changing your major or adding a second major.
• Maybe you had an academic or medical reduced course load.
• Maybe, as a graduate student, you need more time to complete your thesis or dissertation research.
• Maybe you were a transfer student and the original estimated time to complete your degree was not accurate as a result of certain credits not transferring.

What are not viable reasons?

• Not making normal progress toward completing a degree due to failing too many courses.

If you find yourself in situation where you need to apply for a program extension, please contact one of our international advisors and they will help you with the process.
