Graduation Requirements

You will normally have seven years after initial enrollment to complete the associate or baccalaureate program under the requirements in effect at the time of your enrollment. If the program is not completed within seven years, the requirements in effect at the time of the next enrollment will be used to determine graduation requirements. The University reserves the right to make changes in its academic regulations and requirements when, in its judgment, the best interests of the institution are served. In addition, changes in certification requirements of the Iowa Department of Education may affect requirements for students seeking certification to teach. Financial aid guidelines may vary.
