- 8 consecutive semesters maximum or graduation (whichever comes first) for undergraduate students;
- 4 semesters for master's students;
- 8 semesters for doctorate students; OR
- For transfer students, eligibility depends on total number of semesters attended at all previous institutions for a maximum of 8 semesters for undergraduate and doctorate students or 4 semesters for master's students or graduation (whichever comes first)
