It doesn't make sense to me that every college has the standard that you have to have 30 credit hours to be considered a sophomore, 60 to be a junior, 90 to be a senior, and 120 to graduate.
That seems to be the standard, for my college I'm not entirely sure but it seems to be that you have to meet a certain credit amount and complete the classes assigned for you.
It's kind of hard for students to meet the 30 credits each year if the school doesn't offer a sufficient amount of credit hours. :/ I mean I'm taking two 4 credit classes and one 5 credit. The 5 credit class is my Physics class and requires a lab that gives no credit. The least they could do is give like 1 credit for taking the lab or there's no point. :/
But, if you fail the labs you can fail the class. Again, stupid in my opinion because this semester and last semester, I didn't meet the meet the 30 I needed so I'll still be a sophomore when I'll actually be a junior. .-.;
