Students admitted to the college under one of the modes of admission described under ‘New Student Admission’ (page 17) are classified as freshmen until they have earned at least thirty semester credit hours toward a degree. They are, thereafter, classified as sophomores until they have completed the requirements for graduation or certification under a two-year program, or until they have completed one-half the semester-hour requirement for a bachelor’s degree. Students beyond the sophomore level may be admitted and will be classified as special students. Students are classified as full-time if they are enrolled for 12 or more semester hours and part-time if they are enrolled for fewer than 12 semester hours.
