Topic: Credits
What happens if I drop below full
time status (12 credits)?
You should always check with your
academic adviser before you drop below 12 credits (full time
status). Dropping to part time can affect your financial aid,
scholarships, and loans, your health insurance, and your on-campus
status. If you are an international student, be sure to also
check with the international student's office in the International
Center before dropping to part time status.
How many credits do I need to
be a sophomore? What happens if I don't reach sophomore standing
by the end of my first two semesters?
You need 28 total credits (including MSU and transfer
credits) to be a sophomore. If you do not have 28 credits
at the end of your first two semesters, it is not a problem.
You are not required to have 28 credits within any specific
time frame.
How many credits do I need to be
a junior? What happens if I don't reach junior standing by
the end of my second year?
You need 56 total credits (including
MSU and transfer credits) to be a junior. You are not required
to have 56 credits at the end of your second year. The most
important thing to remember is that you must apply for admission
to the College when you reach 56 credits, whether that is
after three, four, five or even six semesters at MSU.
How many credits do I need to be a senior?
What should I do when I reach senior standing?
You
are a senior when you reach 88 total credits (include MSU
and transfer credits). When you reach senior standing, you
should schedule an appointment with your academic advisor
to make sure you're on track for graduation. You should also
be sure to see the Career Services and Placement Coordinator
for Engineering, Ms. Jennifer Jennings, in room 1340 Engineering
Building to get started on your career search and for resume
preparation. You should meet with your academic advisor every
term after you become a senior to make sure you meet all
requirements and deadlines necessary to graduate.
