Question / Issue
What are the Student Classifications?

Answer / Solution
A full-time student is one who registers for and completes 12 or more credit hours per semester. A part-time student is one who registers for and completes 11 or fewer credit hours per semester. Credit hours indicate the approximate number of hours a student will be in class per week. For example, English 1101, a three credit hour course, requires three hours of class attendance weekly. Lab hours usually require additional class attendance time. A first-year student is one who is registered in a specific program and has earned fewer than 30 semester hours of credit, including transfer credit. A second-year student is one who is registered in a specific program and has earned at least 30 semester credit hours, including transfer credit, but not a degree.
