Classification of Students

Academic progress is calculated in credit hours.

  • To be classified as a sophomore, a student must have successfully completed at least 24 credit hours.
  • To be classified as a junior, a student must have successfully completed at least 54 credit hours.
  • To be classified as a senior, the student must have successfully completed at least 84 credit hours.

The classification of a student is changed only at the end of a term. A minimum of 120 credit hours (not including courses completed at the preparatory or pre-college level, numbered 01000-09999) are necessary to complete a bachelor’s degree.
