Graduate courses more than seven years old are considered obsolete and may not be counted to fulfill course requirement for an advanced degree program. Programs of study more than seven years old also are obsolete.

Overage UND graduate courses may be revalidated and may be counted toward an advanced degree on the recommendation of the student's Faculty Advisory Committee and with the consent of the dean of the Graduate School. In no case will more than one-half a program be accepted for revalidation. Revalidation of an overage graduate course can be approved only if it can be demonstrated that a student's knowledge of the subject matter of the course is current. Oral and/or written examination on the subject matter of the course normally is required. The prior approval of the dean must be obtained for the proposed revalidation procedure.

Graduate work from another institution which is overage may not be revalidated for a UND graduate degree. Work which was part of a completed prerequisite graduate degree program does not become overage.
