All programs must be completed within a certain amount of time, counted from the date of initial registration:
| Type of Program | Program must be completed in |
| Certificate (10 courses) | 4 years |
| Diploma (10 courses) | 4 years |
| Graduate Certificate (5 courses) | 2 years |
Time limits will be adjusted accordingly for programs that require more than the typical number of courses, for students who are granted advanced standing, and for students who transfer from one program to another.
Requesting an extension
Students exceeding the time limits may request an extension, in writing, which may be granted under special circumstances with the approval of the Program Director. Where appropriate a revised program of study may be recommended.
Suspending your studies
Students are not obliged to take courses every semester. Students can decide to suspend their studies for up to two consecutive semesters.
Students who do not register for any course in their program for one year (i.e., three semesters) are required to re-apply to their program, and must meet any new program requirements.
