Classification
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.
A student who has been admitted to a 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.
