CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Students are classified at the beginning of each semester on the basis of records filed with the Office of the Registrar.
Freshmen are those admitted to a regular course of study leading to a degree; sophomores are those who have successfully completed
32 semester hours; juniors are those who have successfully completed 64 semester hours, and seniors are those who have
successfully completed 96 semester hours.
Some individuals are admitted to the University as special students and permitted to take any course for which they have had satisfactory
preparation. Special students are classified as non-degree-seeking.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT ENROLLMENT STATUS
Walsh University students who officially register for courses are differentiated as full-time (12 or more credit hours); 3/4-time
(9–11 credit hours), half-time (6–8 credit hours); or less-than-half-time (5 or fewer credit hours). This is critical for students who
receive financial aid, medical insurance, etc.
BUSINESS/ S.P.S BUSINESS COURSE ENROLLMENT
The Division of Business and Economics permits main campus business majors to enroll in a maximum of two business division
courses (BUS or ECON) in the (School for Professional Studies) Program if 1) the student meets the admittance criteria of the
School for Professional Studies Program, or 2) the student not meeting the School for Professional Studies admittance criteria
requires a course for graduation at the end of the current semester and that course is not available in the business division’s main
campus offering for that semester. Students will pay the applicable main campus tuition per credit hour for credit hours in excess
of the maximum.
The Division of Business, Economics and Communication permits School for Professional Studies Students seeking business
majors not offered in the School for Professional Studies Program to enroll in courses required for those majors concurrent with
enrollment in the School for Professional Studies Program. School for Professional Studies Students may complete courses at the
main campus at the applicable School for Professional Studies tuition.
