Student Academic Classifications

Matriculated student:  A student who has been formally accepted to a certificate or degree program on a full-time or part-time basis.  Matriculated status is maintained by taking at least one course per academic year; otherwise, a candidate will be required to reapply for admission and abide by any new academic requirements in effect at that date.  Each student is expected to demonstrate orderly progress in completing his or her educational objective at Great Bay.  

To help clarify each student’s enrollment status at the College, students are assigned to one of the following categories: 

  1. Full-time student - a person who is enrolled in 12 or more semester credit hours
  2. Part-time student - a person who is enrolled in fewer than 12 semester credit hours

Non-matriculated student:  A student who is taking either credit or noncredit courses but has not been formally accepted to a certificate or degree program.  Non-matriculated students are subject to the same course pre-requisites and co-requisites as matriculated students.

Requirements for graduation are defined by the program of study to which the student has been admitted at the time of matriculation.
