Undergraduate Students

Class level is determined at the time of admission and at the end of each subsequent semester during which the student is enrolled based on the number of credits earned. Degree-seeking students are classified as follows:

For students following the 2024/2025 catalog year (or later):

  • Freshmen up to 29.5 credits completed or in progress
  • Sophomores 30 – 59.5 credits completed or in progress

  • Seniors 93 or more credits completed or in progress

All students, regardless of catalog year, will be eligible for assigned priority registration following the class levels defined for the 2024/2025 guidelines. 

Financial Aid eligibility will factor in a student’s current assigned catalog year to determine class level.
