Academic Classification
Students must carry twelve (12) credit hours or more (or their equivalent) in a fall or spring semester to be considered a full-time student. Normal progress toward a degree and academic classification consists of the following credit advancement:
| Academic Classification | Credit Advancement |
| Freshman | 0 - 23 hours |
| Sophomore | 24 - 53 hours |
| Junior | 54 - 89 hours |
| Senior | 90 or more hours |
Students should consult the section of the catalog for their college or school regarding degree requirements for each program.
Students receiving financial aid from any source need to be particularly concerned with their full-time status and making normal progress toward a degree.
