Is it normal for someone who was redshirted in Kindergarten to take at-least 3.5 years to graduate from college?

My redshirted kid will take 5 years to finish college. The same reason we held her back -- her disabilities -- still impact her years later. It's not a race.

Actually most people take 5 years.

It's very rare to take five years, except for specialized programs or disabilities.

Only about half of college students graduate in four years.

Like I said, while that may be true nation-wide, taking longer than four years is very rare among UMC Americans.

Why don’t the other classes count?

They rarely post on DCUM.

You don’t need money to post on DCUM.

It’s not related. The 5 year graduation has been rising for awhile to about half of college students. Some of the reasons are changing majors after two years, taking time off, dropping classes and other things that get in the way.

Congratulations to both of them!

Statistics for taking 6 years plus is related to income but 4 or 5 year graduation rates are less so. It’s very common to take five years to graduate among all college students.

At my school engineering coop students took 5 years. Top 10 program.

.

I said it was rare, not non-existent.

That's the standard for engineering coop programs to do 5 years. You don't usually pay full tuition for all of that 5 years. It's not rare at all.

My friend went to a very large state school and it could be hard to get registered for all the classes you needed to graduate on time because things filled up so fast. So it's also possible to take 5 years just out of logistical hurdles and full classes.

Not if you’re UMC.

Totally logical. That extra year of Kindy is 100% equivalent to semester in college. And cheaper!!

Now, why didn’t I think of that?

Again, why don’t MC and LMC people count.

What I’ve learned about anti-redshirt parents is that they struggle with basic arithmetic, let alone logic and wisdom. Good luck to their kids.

It’s not normal to fixate on this.

Wouldn’t an extra year of K be equivalent to a year in college?
