Texas U considers time limit for students:
An enrolment report for the University of Texas recommends the university allow students only 10 semesters to finish a bachelor’s degree. Students can currently take as long as they want to finish their degree and many spend “a longer time than expected” at school, the report states. Recommendations were also made for mandatory advising services to help students graduate more quickly and interactive degree audits to be completed each semester by all students enrolled in bachelor’s programs.
