A student’s class status is updated at the conclusion of each semester based on the number of credits earned. Class status is used for many things including defining a student’s registration period, prerequisites for taking upper-level courses, etc. The number of credits earned for each class level are as follows:

• First-Year status: 26 credits or fewer earned at completion of previous semester
• Sophomore status: Between 27 and 56 credits earned at completion of previous semester
• Junior status: Between 57 and 86 credits earned at completion of previous semester
• Senior status: 87 or more credits earned at completion of previous semester

Students can review the number of credits they have earned by accessing their degree audit.
