<p>Do you get kicked out, or do you get extra time to finish your degree?</p>

2

<p>I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t kick you out, I didn’t look this up for Columbia specifically, but most schools let you stay until you finish your degree. Thats why guide books publish 4 and 6 year graduation rates.</p>

<p>You take a super-senior year. A dozen or so people do this every year.</p>

<p>Sidebar: It’s not possible if you’re a transfer. They insist you finish in the allocated time. At least that’s what it says in my package.</p>

5

<p>They “insist”? They will definitely give you the extra time to finish your degree. You do pay them 50k a year, that’s not just fun and games.</p>

<p>Aren’t you required to graduate in 9 semesters?</p>

<p>Both people I know who didn’t graduate in 8 graduated in 9, so it’s possible you’re right.</p>
