Academic Regulations
The regulations published in the Undergraduate Catalog are a digest of the rules of the institution. Changes may be made in the regulations at any time to promote the best interests of the university and its students. Students are responsible for knowing the published regulations, policies, and standards of the university and of their college or school.
Classification
A student’s class standing is determined by the number of semester hours of course work completed, as follows:
Semester Hours | |
---|---|
Freshman | 0-29 |
Sophomore | 30-59 |
Junior | 60-89 |
Senior | 90 or more |
The student’s academic dean determines which of the hours of completed course work may be applied towards a degree. To be classified as full-time, a student must be taking at least 12 semester hours. Students enrolled for fewer than 12 hours are classified as part-time.
