Student Classification

Home
Up

Students are assigned a classification at the beginning of each semester based on the total number of semester hours accumulated, including transfer credits and degrees earned. This classification determines eligibility where course prerequisites so indicate.

A student who has been formally admitted to the university, usually to a certificate, diploma, or degree program, is said to be a regular or a matriculated student. A student holding a baccalaureate or higher degree is classified as a post-baccalaureate student. All other students are classified as undergraduate students. A student who has not been admitted to the university is said to be a special or non-matriculated student.

Student classifications and the basis for each are as follows:
