Return to Academic Regulations & Policies Menu

The following classifications became effective for Fall 1996 and thereafter for newly admitted undergraduates (freshmen and transfer students); please see Appendix C for classifications formerly in effect.

Undergraduate students are classified as freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. These classifications are determined by the number of semester hours completed (including hours transferred from another institution). The classifications are as follows:

Freshman: 0-29 semester hours completed

Sophomore: 30-59 semester hours completed

Junior: 60-89 semester hours completed

Senior: 90 or more semester hours completed
