Michigan State University does not have a time limit for completing a bachelor’s degree. However, students may be subject to time limits or other requirements established by financial aid programs, immigration regulations, employers, licensing or certification agencies or other external entities.
For students admitted to a major, progress towards the degree is reviewed based on the student’s academic record and the requirements of the major. Students are responsible for monitoring their progress toward degree completion and reviewing their remaining degree requirements.
Requirements for a major or degree program may be updated through the appropriate university processes. Changes in a major or degree program shall be implemented in a manner which will not delay the graduation date or significantly alter the program of a currently enrolled student who is making normal progress toward the degree. Michigan State University must reserve the right to modify or eliminate programs that are described in this publication. In the event such an action is taken, students affected will be advised by their units of the options available to them to complete their degrees. Every reasonable effort will be made to permit students to complete these programs or similar programs.
