A student is usually identified as a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. Such a classification is applicable to the four years of full-time college attendance. However, an increase in hours earned during one or more semesters or enrollment in summer sessions may result in an accelerated program. Conversely, a smaller than normal class load may result in a prolonged program. Thus, it is more accurate to designate class standing in accordance with semester hours earned.
The following schedule of hours earned is used to establish class standing:
   0 - 14 hours    First Semester Freshman
  15 - 29 hours     Second Semester Freshman
  30 - 44 hours    First Semester Sophomore
  45 - 59 hours     Second Semester Sophomore
  60 - 74 hours     First Semester Junior
  75 - 89 hours      Second Semester Junior
  90 - 104 hours   First Semester Senior
   105+ hours       Second Semester Senior
This schedule has no necessary relationship to the cumulative hours and required grade point average necessary for continuing enrollment.
