Classification of Students

Enrolled students at FPCC are classified according to the following definitions:

• Full-time: students registered for 12 or more credit hours.
• Part-time: students registered for 11 or fewer credit hours.
• Regular: students who have satisfied the regular admission requirements.
• Special: students who have been admitted under special student status. (i.e.; Early College)
• Freshman: students having earned fewer than 30 credits.
• Sophomore: students having earned 30 or more credits.

General Education Courses. If courses designated as general education are also required in a program area, the courses can be counted in the program of study but not in the General Education core. Some programs of study have indicated specific general education courses to meet the General Education core requirements that are different from their program requirements. Students are encouraged to consult their academic advisor and review the course requirements for their degree prior to selecting courses in general education.
