Education history

[Mahebabu]

I recently got ITA and m filling my forms. I have one query.
In Study and languages > Education history, there are fields like - "Since what year", "To", "complete/full academic year".
I started my degree in 2002 and finished in 2006, but I had few arrears so I finished and got my degree in 2007.
So What do I have to mention in "To" field and "complete/full academic year"?
To : 2006 or 2007
complete/full academic year : 4 years or 5 years

please help me with this. Thanks.

This is just my opinion:

I would put; 2002 to 2006.

I'm assuming what you mean is that you completed all your course work for your degree in 2006, however due to the arrears your university withheld your degree certificate and transcripts until you paid your dues in 2007.

However, your certificates and transcripts should still say that your degree was completed in 2006, correct?

So i would simply put 2002 to 2006.

This changes if your documents are dated 2007 though but they shouldn't be. Your degree duration should be the date you started until the date you completed, not the date you settled your accounts.

Thanks for your reply.
My degree says I completed on April 2007.
As I said This is because of few arrears that I had and I completed only in 2007.
Arrears means i failed On few subject and passed in 2007.
But the course duration is 4 years.

Write what you have on your papers. If you completed it in 2007, state it as it is. Nothing wrong with it

My bad, i thought you meant financial arrears.

Your completion date should be when you fulfilled all the requirements of your degree program, and it should be the completion date as per transcripts and degree certificate.

It should be 2007, it doesn't matter if you were supposed to finish the program in 2006.

Thanks for the confirmation.
