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.

An undergraduate student registered for 12 or more credit hours is considered to be a full-time student. 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
