Student Career and Classification


The undergraduate student career is based on the total number of semester hours earned at UH-Victoria and accepted in transfer from other colleges and universities, regardless of whether or not the courses involved are applicable to the student’s program or plan.

Students are expected to complete all lower-division course requirements prior to reaching senior status.

Freshman
0-29 semester
hours

Sophomore
30-59 semester
hours

Junior
60-89 semester
hours

Senior
90 or more
semester hours

The post-baccalaureate classification in the undergraduate career describes a student who has a degree but who is not enrolled in a formal graduate degree program. This classification accommodates students who are: 1) awaiting admission to a graduate program; 2) seeking an additional baccalaureate degree; and 3) taking courses with no degree objective. A post-baccalaureate student may not receive graduate degree credit for courses completed while in this classification but may petition for graduate degree credit after admission to a graduate program as described in the Admissions section of this catalog.
