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: |

| Sophomore: |

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.
