Classification of Students
The number of credits which each student has accumulated determines that student’s classification. Students who have received a score of three or higher on any of the Advanced Placement Examinations of the College Board will be eligible, in the area of each examination, for advanced placement and credit toward graduation as determined by the appropriate department. They will also qualify for exemption from certain general education courses as specified by the dean on the basis of the student's total record. Students may not receive credit toward graduation for Howard University courses that are equivalent to courses for which they have received advanced placement credit. All other advanced standing is determined by the individual schools and colleges within Howard University.
Student Load
Undergraduate students must be enrolled in no less than 12 credit hours in order to be considered full-time students.
