What are the Student Classifications?
A full-time student is one who registers for and completes 12 or more credit hours per quarter. A part-time student is one who registers for and completes 11 or fewer credit hours per quarter. Credit hours indicate the approximate number of hours a student will be in class per week. For example, English 111, a three credit hour course, requires three hours of class attendance weekly. Lab hours usually require additional class attendance time. A first-year student is one who is registered in a specific program and has earned fewer than 46 quarter credit hours of credit, including transfer credit. A second-year student is one who is registered in a specific program and has earned at least 46 quarter credit hours, including transfer credit, but not a degree.
