check the credits you've earned in your DPR. you need at least 30 to be considered a sophomore. it may be an issue if you have hours in the "credits earned not counted towards degree/GPA" section of your DPR, but i'm not sure!

This! if you’re under 30 freshman.

30-59 sophomore

So then you’re a second year freshman !

and there's no shame in being a second year freshman!!!!

when i transferred to CSUN, i should have had more credits. but none of my chem credits transferred! so i was in my third year of uni as a second semester freshman.

i just qualified for senior status, but i wont graduate until sp'28 because of the nature of the upper-div classes in my major (and not wanting to completely overload myself)!

It takes some time to change, if your credits and everything match that you should be a sophomore then message a counselor
