What is the time limit to complete a graduate degree?

To help ensure your graduate program stays relevant and up-to-date, UMGC has a time limit for completing graduate-level degrees and certificates.

You have five (5) consecutive years from the start of your program to finish all requirements for your:

  • Graduate degree
  • Dual degree
  • Graduate certificate

If you're concerned you may not complete your program within this time frame, contact your Graduate School Academic Advisor.

Visit UMGC Graduate School Degree Completion Requirements Policy to learn more.
