CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS

Undergraduate students who are enrolled in the regular session and who are registered for 12 or more semester hours for University credit (not audit credit) are classified as full-time. Undergraduate students who are enrolled in the Regular Session but who are registered for fewer than 12 semester hours are classified as part-time. A graduate student enrolled for nine or more hours is considered to be a full-time student.

All undergraduate students are also classified as either special or regular. Special students are those who have completed a baccalaureate degree but are taking undergraduate courses. Regular students are candidates for baccalaureate degrees and are further classified as follows:

Freshmen – Students who have earned fewer than 22 semester hours of credit

Sophomores – Students who have earned at least 22 but fewer than 54 semester hours of credit

Juniors – Students who have earned at least 54 but fewer than 87 semester hours of credit

Seniors – Students who have earned 87 or more semester hours of credit
