5.4.19 Candidacy Extension

(Approved January 25, 2012)

The candidate’s academic unit Chair may request an extension of a student’s candidacy if the student is otherwise making adequate progress and if the delay can be attributed to factors largely beyond the student’s control. Requests for candidacy extension must be received by the Academic Council before candidacy has lapsed. The duration of each extension will be granted on a case-by-case basis. Requested duration of extension will be measured in academic quarters or years.
