<p>I’m encouraging my daughter to slow it down. While universities expect you to apply for graduation soon after you have accumulated over the required amount of credits, if the student needs longer than 4 years, they aren’t going to boot you out.</p>
<p>Of course this is just referring to students who are full pay/w Stafford loans. When my oldest needed to retake ochem @ her private college, she had to come home & take it at a public school, because the private school would only allow 4 years. Even if she had stayed there and just taken ochem without accepting aid, that would have counted for the 4th year& she wouldn’t have been able to continue. So she took a year away& then they welcomed her back for her senior year.</p>
