Degrees are awarded in May and December. The unit of credit for standard semester-long classes is a course which is equivalent to four semester hour credits. Students generally enroll in four courses, although they may take from three to 4.5 courses in a semester.
Undergraduate students are candidates for degrees.
The classification of students is determined by the amount of academic credit earned. Special students may take any subject for which they are eligible without regard to requirements for a degree. Auditors are registrants who attend classes as listeners and do not receive credit or grades for their work. The instructor and student are to agree on the amount of participation required in order for the student to have the audit appear on the transcript. If the class is not completed to the instructor's satisfaction, the class will not be recorded for degree students.
