University of Alabama students planning to cheer on the Alabama Crimson Tide against the Texas A&M Aggies in College Station this year should hope they're not on track to graduate college in four years.
UA's Ticketing Office announced last week that undergraduate students needed 119 credit hours -- not counting transfer credits from other institutions -- under their belts by the end of the spring 2013 semester to be eligible for tickets to the College Station game.
The university requires 120 credit hours to graduate. Rising seniors who have taken 18-hour semesters during their first three years would only have 108 hours going into the fall semester.
Most rising seniors just made the cut-off for Iron Bowl tickets, as UA Athletics is requiring undergraduates to have 99 or more UA earned hours to buy Auburn tickets.
Students took to Twitter to express their discontent with the system, which some feel rewards students taking longer to graduate over those who are "finishing in four," a UA program which promotes graduating in eight semesters.
