<p>Ok so Ive been attending community college up until this point and Ive gotten a lot of my regular classes out of the way: English 1 & 2, communications, Harritage and humanites, ect but along the way Im been taking some classes to refresh myself on some basic math/chemistry to ensure I do well in my state uni.
The problem is, my state uni has a set criclum that starts me out as a freshman taking Calc 1, and chemistry 105. TO brush myself up on these topics I took College algebra, trig and chemistry 104 during the 2 semesters I spent at CC.
What im wondering is, is there any rule that states a student has to graduate in 4 years? Because Id like to spend another 4 years at my state uni and get a good amount of research and all the required courses for my BS degree, so that I can get into a well ranked graduate school.</p>
<p>nope… in general there’s usually not a rule about this; however, any university many determine its own guidelines for such things, so you should check with the school’s registrar and/or (at minimum) their admissions office.</p>
<p>Many people, myself included, would be screwed if there was a four-year limit 
I have heard of a seven-year limit, though, and sometimes classes you took a long time ago won’t be valid toward a current degree, so check with your institution.</p>
<p>You don’t have to graduate in 4 years but you may be ineligible for financial aid after a certain point.</p>
