YOl H CLASS IN COLLEGE Your class in college—that is, whether YOU ai a freshman, sophomore, junior,

or senior—does not necessarily reflect the n u m b e r of semesters you have spent

at i stitutions of higher learning.

At the University of Illinois, the sorting of students into clashes is done in the K order's Office at the end of each semester. Y o u r class in school is determined by the n u m b e r of credits you have earned ( i n c l u d i n g physical education and military science). F o r registration purposes and for student activities, your class in school is gauged by one of the following scales, depending upon how many hours of c; lit are required for graduation from your colle ! and urriculum: 130 hours or K'ss More than 130 hours Freshman standing 0-29 hours 0-29 hours re Standing JO hours JO hours inior standing 60 hours '>~ hours r Standing 94 hours 99 hours All students with 95 or more b o m s of credit, regardless of their courses of tudy, are classified a- -mors, ami will receive reduced credit if they elect certain man courses.
