If courses go out of date (beyond the six-year window) you may petition to revalidate six semester hours. However, no course may be older than eight years at the time of graduation. For example, if you plan to graduate in Summer 2025, courses eligible for revalidation must have been taken between Fall 2017 and Summer 2019.
