A first year student is any student who has not graduated from high school. Students taking college courses in high school are still considered first year students. Any student who has graduated from high school and has taken less than 12 credit hours of college work post-graduation is also a first year student.

Transfer

Transfer students are students with a high school diploma/GED who have taken more than 12 credit hours of college work AFTER their high school graduation.
