titleTime to Degree

Doctoral degrees must be completed within seven (7) years from the student’s original date of admission for doctoral study. All courses applied to the doctoral degree must be completed within seven (7) years, including courses taken

  1. prior to admission to the USF doctoral program,

  2. taken as non‐degree seeking, or

  3. transferred in from other institutions. 


In the event that a student nears the end of the time limitation as specified above, but the student needs more time to complete the degree, the student may submit a request for an extension using the Time Limit Extension Request Form, available on the Office of Graduate Studies website. Requests must include:

  • the reasons for the delay in completion,

  • the anticipated time needed for completion,

  • endorsements from the graduate faculty advisor, graduate program, and College Dean or designee,

  • a detailed plan of study and timeline for the remaining requirements for the degree

If approved, the time limit extension also applies to courses applied toward the degree. However, programs may require additional or repeat coursework as part of the condition of the time limit extension. Students who exceed the time limitations may have their registration placed on hold until a request for extension has been approved. Only one time limit extension request is permitted. Students who are temporarily unable to continue the program should submit a Leave of Absence Request, which extends the time limit for the duration of the approved Leave.
