Classification

A student is usually identified as a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. Such a classification is applicable to the four years of full-time college attendance. However, an increase in hours earned during one or more semesters or enrollment in summer sessions may result in an accelerated program. Thus, it is more accurate to designate class standing in accordance with semester hours earned.

The following schedule of hours earned is used to establish class standing:

              0 - 16 hours

            17 - 31 hours

First Semester Freshman

Second Semester Freshman

            32 - 47 hours

            48 - 62 hours

First Semester Sophomore

Second Semester Sophomore

            63 - 78 hours

            79 - 93 hours

First Semester Junior

Second Semester Junior

            94 - 109 hours

            110+ hours

First Semester Senior

Second Semester Senior

This schedule has no necessary relationship to the cumulative hours and required grade-point average necessary for continuing enrollment.
