Students of McMaster Divinity College are expected to complete degree programs within a 10 year period. A student may request in writing that this time period be extended. Extending the 10 year limit is a Faculty decision. Although it cannot be guaranteed, the College makes every effort to ensure that courses are offered in a timely way so that completing a degree in 10 years is possible for part time students.

If 12 months have passed since the last registration, the student must go through a readmission process that consists of:

• letter or explanation for absence
• reference from a pastor or Christian leader addressing the absence
• readmission fee -- $50

If three years have passed since last registration, the student must re-apply and follow the current regulations and curriculum of the catalogue under which they re-enter. In evaluating an application for re-admission into a program that is incomplete, normally a course will be credited only if completed within the previous 10 years, or 15 years for Level 1 courses.
