What is MRR?

Created by DCS Program Support, Modified on Fri, 4 Oct, 2024 at 4:49 AM by DCS Program Support

Maximum Residency Rule, also known as MRR, is the number of years a student may enroll in the program. In FICS, here are the following MRR for each program:


BAMS--8 years
DCS--4 years
MIS--7 years
MDC--7 years
DCOMM--10 years


For the DCS program, a full-time student is recommended to finish the program within two years and its MRR is twice that, leading up to 4 years. This means that a student should graduate within the MRR period or less; otherwise, the student will not be allowed to continue with the program.


A student may appeal to extend the MRR by writing a formal letter to the Dean through their Program Chair, stating valid reasons for the delay and a detailed plan of study (POS) for the remaining terms.
