<p>There is a scene in the movie Animal House where the frat members have just learned they have all been kicked out of college and Blutarsky (played by John Belushi), who was still classified at the time as a freshman on probation, quips, “Six years of college and now it is all down the drain.”</p>
<p>Many colleges do have limitations for completing a degree and usually it is six years absent applying for an extension and having a good reason for doing so but whether and the extent to which a college has a rule is something you need to check with each college.</p>
