CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS<br />

FULL-TIME STUDENT<br />

A full-time student carries twelve (12) or more semester hours per semester.<br />

PART-TIME STUDENT<br />

A part-time student carries less than twelve (12) semester hours per semester.<br />

AUDIT STUDENT<br />

Students may be allowed to audit a course. Students auditing a course are not required to take<br />

part in class examinations, laboratories, or fieldwork. A student’s audit grade is based upon<br />

attendance. No attempt is made to evaluate the quality of the student’s work. The student’s<br />

record merely reflects that he or she was approved to audit the course. Auditors may use the<br />

library for reading purposes and may check out books with a special library card. A student is<br />

allowed to declare that they want to audit a course with the instructor’s written permission.<br />

The audit form is located in the Registrar’s Office. The form must be completed and processed<br />

by the end of the add/drop period for that course. A student may not change a course to<br />

audit for any reason after the add/drop period.<br />

NON-DEGREE SEEKING STUDENT<br />

A non-degree seeking student is allowed to take courses at <strong>Victory</strong> but does not have to fulfill<br />

minimum requirements for entrance as a regular student. A non-degree seeking student has<br />

been given permission to take a limited or special selection of credit courses without regard to<br />

requirements for a degree. Rising Seniors and Senior Citizens are examples of non-degree<br />

seeking students.<br />

Rising Seniors are select high school students who are allowed to take courses during their<br />

senior year in high school. If a Rising Senior decides to come to <strong>Victory</strong> for a degree, he/she<br />

must re-apply through the Admissions Office.<br />

Senior Citizens are individuals who are at least 60 years old and are taking courses for credit but<br />

not towards a degree. If a Senior Citizen decides to complete a degree at <strong>Victory</strong>, he/she must<br />

re-apply through the Admissions Office.<br />

Registration for non-degree seeking students is contingent upon seat availability in any course.<br />
