It is expected that graduate students will strive to complete all requirements for the M.Sc. within 5 terms (20 months) of initial registration. This means that all course requirements should, if possible, be completed within the first 3 terms of registration. Guaranteed University-based financial support (e.g. teaching assistantships) available to Masters candidates is limited to 6 terms of registration in the program.
Ph.D. students are expected to strive to complete all requirements for the degree within 12 terms (4 years) of initial registration in the Ph.D. program. Guaranteed University-based financial support for direct entry Ph.D. candidates is limited to 12 terms in the program.
Current students enrolled in the Master's program and who are eligible to transfer into the Ph.D. program receive guaranteed University-based financial support to a total of 15 terms from initial enrolment in the Master's program.
