Classification of Students

Classification of students, based upon the number of credits earned, is made in the Registrar’s Office at the end of each enrollment period and is revised as necessary.

The rules governing the classification of students are as follows:

1. FRESHMAN – Having fewer than 30 semesters hours of credit.
2. SOPHOMORE – Having at least 30, but less than 60 semester hours of credit.
3. JUNIOR – Having at least 60, but less than 90 semester hours of credit.
4. SENIOR – Having at least 90 semester hours of credit.

*NOTE: During preregistration, a student’s currently enrolled ULM hours are used to determine classifications for registration.
