Student Class

Classification of students is determined by the number of credit hours completed. Freshman standing is assigned to students with 1 through 23 semester hours; sophomore standing, to those with 24 through 53 semester hours; junior standing, to those with 54 through 83 semester hours; senior standing, to those with 84 semester hours or more.

Change of Address/Name

Students are required to notify the Registrar of any change of home or local address within 48 hours of the effective change date, parent or guardian, or any change of legal name. Suffolk University requires that a student's legal name be used on academic records and other official University documents.

All Suffolk University students are required to submit (or confirm) current emergency contact information each semester and when such information changes.

Academic Record Status

Student academic records are sealed at the time the degree is conferred. After this date, changes cannot be made to majors and minors, academic honors, removal of incompletes, grade changes, or other changes to an academic record.
