All students are urged to consider the educational and economic
benefits of completing their programs quickly. Soon after being
admitted to graduate study, each student should consult with a faculty
adviser and work out a reasonable timetable for meeting the
requirements. Extensions beyond the normal limits shown above (for all
degrees except the master of philosophy) may be granted to students in
good standing. A student requiring an extension should petition the
dean of the Graduate School-New Brunswick on a form available from the
Office of the Graduate School. If the petition is supported by reasons
of weight, and if the faculty members in charge of the student`s
program certify that satisfactory progress is being made, the extension
normally is granted. Part-time students should consult their program
concerning their expected times of completion.
