Classification of Degree-Seeking Students
Texas A&M University-San Antonio enrolls degree-seeking students in both undergraduate and graduate programs. An undergraduate student is one who has not yet received a baccalaureate degree. A graduate student has earned a baccalaureate degree and is enrolled in graduate coursework.
A degree-seeking undergraduate is classified as a freshman (or first-year student), sophomore, junior, or senior according to the number of semester credit hours earned, as follows:
| Classification | Semester Credit Hours Earned |

| Freshman (or First-Year Student) | fewer than 30 |
| Sophmore | at least 30, but fewer than 60 |
| Junior | at least 60, but fewer than 90 |
| Senior | 90 or more |
