Class standing is determined by credits completed:
- First Year Student: 0-23 credits
- Sophomore: 24-53 credits
- Junior: 54-86 credits
- Senior: 87-120 credits
- Graduate: 120+ credits
Part-Time Status
If students change from full-time to part-time status, either prior to the beginning of a semester or during a semester, the following may be affected: financial aid, health and counseling services, athletic eligibility, tuition and fees and F-1 student immigration status. Please contact the appropriate offices for specific details.
Athletic Eligibility
All varsity team members must be full-time students with a minimum of 12 credits at the undergraduate level and 9 credits at the graduate level. A full-time student whose cumulative grade point average (GPA) reflects satisfactory academic standing is eligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics. A student athlete must complete 24 credits during the previous year to be eligible for the following year. Athletic eligibility is monitored annually by the Athletic Department prior to the beginning of fall semester classes. Students who have not attained satisfactory academic standing prior to this time will be ineligible for varsity athletic participation. Also, students who have not earned enough credits for satisfactory progress will not be eligible to participate in intercollegiate athletics. Students who attain minimum satisfactory academic standing during the year may apply to the director of athletics and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) faculty athletic representative for athletic eligibility reinstatement. Once a student starts at full-time status at the college or at another institute prior to matriculating at the college, they have 10 semesters to compete at the undergraduate level.
