Maximum Timeframe

in

To be eligible for financial aid at the University of Oregon, you must complete your undergraduate degree within the maximum timeframe. This means graduating before accumulating 150 percent of the attempted credits required for completing your major.

Attempted credits include all earned and unearned UO credits, and all accepted transfer credits. Grades of I,Y,N,F,X, and W are considered as unearned credits. 150 percent of the attempted credits required for most majors is 270. The exceptions to this are:

  • Art (B.F.A. degree) 330
  • Landscape Architecture 330
  • Interior Architecture 338
  • Architecture 347

If you are unable to fulfill the requirements for your degree before reaching this maximum timeframe your aid will be suspended.

Graduate students are expected to complete the requirements for your degree in a reasonable length of time.

Appeals

If you cannot complete your degree within the Maximum Timeframe you may appeal for an extention of your financial aid if you have unusal circumstances. Your prior use, or lack of use, of financial aid in the past is not a factor in our reviewing your future financial aid eligibility.
