Credits Per Grade Level
In order to advance to the next grade level, undergrads must earn a certain number of credits:
| Grade Level | Credits Required |
|---|---|
| Freshman | 0 through 27 |
| Sophomore | 28 through 55 |
| Junior | 56 through 87 |
| Senior | 88 or more |
For example, at the end of your first two semesters, you do not become a sophomore unless you have earned at least 28 credits (including transfer credits). The amount of money you may borrow through the Stafford (Direct) Loan program depends on your grade level.
