All freshmen and sophomore students are required to be advised in the Undergraduate Advising Center (UAC).

Freshmen are students with fewer than 30 credit hours. New freshmen are high school graduates entering college for the first time.  

Sophomores are students who have earned between 30 and 59 college credit hours.  Sophomores are encouraged to develop relationships with their major department prior to their junior year.
