Student Classifications
The freshman class of Vernon College is composed of both beginning freshman (students who have never enrolled in college before) and freshman (students who have earned less than 30 semester hours of college credit). A sophomore is a student who has completed at least 30 but less than 72 semester hours and has not earned an associate degree. The unclassified category is for the student with 73 or more hours who has not earned an associate degree. The remaining two classifications are associate degree and baccalaureate or above, which are both self-explanatory. A full-time student is one enrolled for 12 or more credit hours in a standard academic semester.
