Classification of Students

A full-time student is one who is taking 12 or more credits either as a regular or as a special student.

A part-time student is one taking fewer than 12 credits.

A regular student is one enrolled in a degree-granting program at Belmont Abbey College. A regular student is further classified as follows:

Freshman: 0-24 credits
Sophomore: 25-58 credits
Junior: 59-89 credits
Senior: 90 or more credits

A special student is not formally enrolled as a degree-seeking student. This classification includes students taking special work to complete teacher certification, transient students enrolled for a limited time, and high school students.
