The 'complete/full academic years' field is asking about the officially required length of the program, not how quickly you personally finished it.
What group members advised:- Enter the officially required duration of the program (e.g. 4 years) rather than your actual completion time (e.g. 3 years), since the field is meant to capture the program's standard length.
- Base this on your degree certificate, since it's issued with the official start and end dates tied to the program's designated length, not your personal pace.
Takeaway: match the field to what your certificate/credential officially states as the program duration, even if you personally completed the coursework faster.
