Reminder: Exception for Time Requirements
EKU Policy notes the following time restrictions for previously taken graduate courses:
• Degrees with less than 40 hours required, courses need to have been taken in the previous 7 years. • Degrees with more than 40 hours required, courses need to be taken in the previous 10 years.
However, if students have work-related experiences, professional development activities, etc. that demonstrate how they maintained currency in the content knowledge for the older courses, a “Request for Exception to Time Requirements Form” may be completed and sent to the graduate school.
This form is available at: https://gradschool.eku.edu/graduate-school-forms .
DegreeWorks petitions for old courses do not replace completion of the form since documentation of currency is not included. Any degreework petitions for time requirements will unfortunately be denied.
Exception for Time Requirement forms can be sent to Kelly.Fox@eku.edu.
