Student Classification
A student’s classification as a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior is based on his or her standing in terms of credit hours earned.
The minimum qualifications for each classification are as follows:
| Freshman |
fewer than 28 credit hours |
| Sophomore |
28–59 credit hours |
| Junior |
60–89 credit hours |
| Senior |
90+ semester credit hours |
Students with fewer than 60 credit hours may not take advanced courses — those with numbers of 300 or higher — without special permission from their faculty advisers.
Courses at the 600 level may be taken only by graduate students.
