The Extension of the Statute of Limitations form is designed for students who have not completed their graduate degree in the 5 or 7 year window initially allowed for the respective program. This form provides for an extension to study within the School of Graduate Studies for up to an additional academic year (2 semesters). Students should be prepared to provide rationale why they were unable to complete the program of study within the given timeframe and how additional time would be advantageous to the completion of the degree requirements. In addition, the student must provide a plan of action moving forward for the completion of their studies. This plan should include milestones, thresholds, and deadlines necessary for the completion of the degree and should be of significant detail to engender confidence in degree completion.
