Class standing will be determined at the end of each academic year on the basis of completion of course credits. Developmental courses are not included in the number of credits that determine a student’s classification. The classification scale is:
| Freshman | 0-30 semester credit hours earned |
| Sophomore | 31-60 semester credit hours earned |
| Junior | 61-91 semester credit hours earned |
| Senior | 92 or more semester credit hours earned |
Senior classification does not necessarily imply graduation the following spring.
