节目时间限制

All work toward a master's degree, including transferred credits, 课程, 和论文, must be completed within seven years. This time limit is required of all master's candidates in the 加州州立大学 (other institutions of higher education across the country have similar deadlines).

的 研究生办公室 916-278-6470 determines the official seven-year deadline for each student as that student advances to candidacy.

Occasionally an extraordinary situation will arise whereby a student will want to challenge the time limit. 的 burden to establish currency of an expired course (a course completed more than seven years ago) falls to the student. 在这种情况下 货币申请 form would be used to request a one semester extension beyond the limit.

Title 5 of the 加州 Administrative Code of Regulations is where you can find the relevant language.
