Classification of Students

New students are classified upon acceptance by the Office of Admissions. Returning students’ classification for the year is determined by the amount of credit they have earned at the beginning of the academic year. Students may only advance to the next level classification upon meeting the minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA requirement. Student classes are organized early in the Fall semester according to the following levels of academic achievement.

Classification Minimum Cum. GPA Number of Semester Hours
Freshman 1.70 0-24
Sophomore 2.00 25-55
