Limitation On Years of Study
A recent rule requires that students must complete their undergraduate degrees within six years of matriculation, which contrasts with the previous rule that six nonconsecutive sessions were allowed. This rule is the most restrictive of its kind in the province and affects women who may bear children and so interrupt their university education, and persons with disabilities. Students with disabilities such as depression can apply for an extension, however no published policy exists for dealing with disability.

Famous quotes containing the words limitation, years and/or study:
“...to many a mother’s heart has come the disappointment of a loss of power, a limitation of influence when early manhood takes the boy from the home, or when even before that time, in school, or where he touches the great world and begins to be bewildered with its controversies, trade and economics and politics make their imprint even while his lips are dewy with his mother’s kiss.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“Alas, Postumus, Postumus, the fleeting years slip by.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“The study of tools as well as of books should have a place in the public schools. Tools, machinery, and the implements of the farm should be made familiar to every boy, and suitable industrial education should be furnished for every girl.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
