The department can consider that the subject matter of the
dissertation is such as to require the extra time, and allow
that this be given. Also, the qualifying examination can be
given anew.
Also, 10 years from what? Usually it is 10 years from
completion of a particular requirement, or even less.
I believe my department has 5 years from passing the
qualifiers, with extensions approved by the graduate
committee.
A student can come into a graduate program needing one
to two years to make up undergraduate deficiencies.
Why should such a student be admitted? For one thing,
the relation****p between the chickentracks in the catalog
and what was taught in the course is by no means clear,
and also faculty will hand out A's to get enough students
to enroll in the advanced courses to give them at all.
