...per definitum tempus studiorum curriculum ad baccalaureatum praestituum absolvit..
I think this means that the student completed the course within the stipulated period, but I cannot see the grammatical link between definitum and tempus.
Again, thanks for any help

Selected
during his/her assigned period of studies
'he/she has completed the curriculum prescribed for a Baccalaureate during his/her assigned period of studies'
'Definitum' is the perfect passive participle of 'defiinire', 'to limit, bound, assign, appoint'. 'Praestituum' is clearly a typo for 'praestitutum', the perfect passive participle of 'praestituere', 'to prescribe, appoint beforehand'.
The third person possessive adjective is regularly omitted in Latin when it is implied in the context. Hence I translate 'his/her assigned period, etc.' instead of employing an article. Cf. Allen & Greenough, New Latin Grammar, §302, c.

Comment: "Thanks again. I had totally forgotten that "tempus" was a 3rd declension noun and in this case was in the accusative."

per + accusative
definitum tempus - both words are in the accusative because of the preposition "per"
