Which schools have expiration dates on pre-requisite courses?

VMCAS's list only had Tuskegee University as requiring all pre-requisite courses to have been taken within 6 years. However I just attended a Univ of Minnesota info session that said they have a 10 year expiration requirement that I never found while doing my research online on the program.

Any other schools have this requirement? I don't want to waste my time applying if some of my pre-requisite courses won't even count.

Thanks!

I think it's a fairly common thing for schools to have a cut-off for prereqs along the lines of "these courses must have been completed within the last x years" so if that's something you're concerned about, my best advice would be to just contact admissions for the schools you're interested in applying to

There are several schools that have a time limit on science prereqs. It was something I was concerned about because I was a non-traditional student, but that information was easily found on the individual school’s admissions pages. I applied 2 years ago now so I don’t want to list any specific schools, as things may have changed. Good luck! 🙂
 
It should say on their websites. Kansas was 6 years for this last application cycle, A&M was 10, and I think Tech and OkState were as well.
