Student Classifications

Students will be classified by level, on the basis of credit hours satisfactorily earned as follows:

Freshman:

0-29 credit hours.

Sophomore:

30-59 credit hours.

Junior:

60-89 credit hours.

Senior:

90 or more credit hours, prior to completion of baccalaureate requirements.

Post-Baccalaureate:

Any student enrolled in courses, regardless of course level (except one working toward another baccalaureate degree), who has a baccalaureate degree but has not been admitted to a graduate program. All post-baccalaureate students are considered as non-degree undergraduates for all University policies and procedures.

Graduate:

Any student enrolled in graduate courses who has been admitted to a graduate program.

Other Student Classifications:

Auditor:

A student registered for any credit course who is not seeking credit.

Co-op Student:

A student enrolled in the Center for Cooperative Education and Applied Learning Program remains a registered student during all off-campus assignment semesters. Furthermore, there is no lapse in continuity in the co-op academic calendar: a co-op student either is on assignment or attending class during each term.

Special Student:

A student of demonstrated academic ability who does not meet the regular requirements for admission (Early Admission, non-degree seeking, transient, and auditor).

Temporary:

A student who applied before the deadline and who is permitted to register and attend class pending completion of the admission file.

Transient:

Students temporarily registered (for one term) at UCF with the approval of another university or college where they are regularly enrolled, or a UCF student temporarily in attendance at another university or college, with the approval of UCF. A UCF student may not be enrolled as a Transient student in another institution during the term in which the baccalaureate degree or the A.A. degree is to be awarded.

Limited Non-Degree Seeking:

A student earning credit, but not working on a degree program.

Provisional:

A student entering from a regionally unaccredited high school, college, or university may be admitted on provisional status where appropriate. By obtaining a minimum 2.0 GPA (C average) at the end of the first term of attendance, the provisional status will be removed. Earning less than a C (2.0) average the first term would result in disqualification.
