Class standing is used in processes such as course registration and on-campus housing selection. A student’s class standing, as defined above, may differ from the year in which they intend to graduate, as students may choose to take more or fewer credits than a standard course load, thus impacting the total number of semesters necessary to complete their degree. Adding, dropping and/or withdrawing from courses during a semester may impact class standing and registration group assignments. To learn more about registration group assignments, please refer to the Registrar’s “Undergraduate Registration Groupings” document.
