Senate Resolution 97/98-06: Student Classification

Whereas, "Freshman," "Sophomore," "Junior," and "Senior" are generically used to designate a student's academic classification; and

Whereas, "Freshman" is used to refer to students during their first year of course work, "Sophomore" refers to students during their second year, "Junior" refers to students in their third year, and "Senior" refers to students in their fourth year, and

Whereas, the minimum number of hours required for a Bachelor's Degree is 128; and

Whereas, 128 hours divided by 4 years is 32 hours per year;

Therefore, be it resolved that:
UAH adopt the following definitions for student classification:
Freshman: 0 - 32 hours,
Sophomore: 33 - 64 hours,
Junior: 65 - 96 hours, and
Senior: 97 and up.
