Academic Level / Undergraduate Class Standing
Class Credit hours completed
Freshmen 0 - 29 hours
Sophomore 30 - 59 hours
Junior 60 - 89 hours
Senior 90+ hours
In some cases, a student's academic level or class standing is determined by where the student is in his or her program and not simply the total of all credit hours. This is especially true if a student has changed majors and moved into a program where a significant number of hours previously taken will not apply toward the new major. While this isn't usually a real issue at the freshman and sophomore levels, it is more likely to occur when a student changes schools while a junior or senior.
NOTE: 30 CREDIT HOURS EACH YEAR is expected for on-time completion of an undergraduate degree.
