A degree candidate's semester classification is used for the following determinations: establishing how early a student may register, assigning classes with a prerequisite semester classification, change of campus assignment, and eligibility for parking on campus. This classification is based on the following table of credits earned:
| Total Credits Earned* | Semester Classification |
|---|---|
| 13.0 or less | 1 |
| 13.1 to 27 | 2 |
| 27.1 to 43 | 3 |
| 43.1 to 59 | 4 |
| 59.1 to 75 | 5 |
| 75.1 to 91 | 6 |
| 91.1 to 107 | 7 |
| 107.1 to 123 | 8 |
| 123.1 to 139 | 9 |
| 139.1 to 155 | 10 |
| 155.1 or more | 11 |
*Total credits earned are defined in Cumulative Credits/Total Credits.
