MAXIMUM PROGRAM LENGTH

Bachelors and Master’s Program
Students must complete the entire program within one- and one- half times the standard program length, which is defined by the college as the total number of credit hours in the program.

Therefore, the maximum time frame for any program is calculated by multiplying the number of total credits by 1.5.

For example, a student enrolled in a 90-credit-hour program can attempt no more than 135 credit hours.

Should a student exceed the 150% maximum time requirement, he/she will be dismissed. American University of Health Sciences, as directed by the federal government, does not allow students who do not raise their CGPAs or completion rates of progress to the necessary minimums to continue to receive federal financial assistance, regardless of the students’ circumstances.

See the chart on this page for further explanation. Students may appeal the dismissal. Appeals will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
