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:
“When we get to wishing a great deal for ourselves, whatever we get soon turns into mere limitation and exclusion.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Neither years nor books have yet availed to extirpate a prejudice then rooted in me, that a scholar is the favorite of Heaven and earth, the excellency of his country, the happiest of men. His duties lead him directly into the holy ground where other men’s aspirations only point. His successes are occasions of the purest joy to all men. Eyes is he to the blind; feet is he to the lame. His failures, if he is worthy, are inlets to higher advantages.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
