Information for Part Time Students

Adult Admission

Personnel within the center will assist adult students over the age of 24 with admission to the college by assessing their academic backgrounds and transfer credit, assisting with educational planning, and recommending the appropriate course for admission. Students may choose to pursue a bachelor's degree either part-time or full-time in any major. For adults who can only attend classes at night, the following majors are available:

Three credited certificates currently available are:

Adult students may choose to take courses on a nonmatriculated (NM) basis part-time without making application to the college. Others who wish to apply, but do not meet the admission requirements, may be offered the option of NM status to work towards matriculation.

NM part-time students may take up to 11 credit hours per semester and are eligible to apply for matriculation/admission after completion of 9-18 credit hours with at least a 2.5 GPA. The minimum of 9 credit hours must include: one course from the core curriculum, one course from the intended major, and, if mathematics is required in the intended major, one course in mathematics.*

NM students MUST apply for matriculation after 18 credit hours have been completed. In addition, they must meet all admission requirements as outlined under REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER ADMISSION in the college catalog. Students who are not accepted for admission or who do not intend to matriculate will be prohibited from registering for additional courses unless they obtain written approval from the director of Continuing Education. Students whose previous academic record indicates that they will be unable to meet the criteria for matriculation may be prohibited from registering for classes.The Continuing Education staff assists students with the transition to Le Moyne College by providing an adult orientation program prior to each fall, and spring semester.

*In addition completion of sequential math 3 in high school, or a non-credit intermediate algebra course is required for admission to Le Moyne.

Attendance

Individual professors will establish and clearly announce all regulations governing class attendance and exclusions from final examinations because of excessive absences for their respective courses. When a student is absent from class because he or she is officially representing the college, the absence will not be counted among those allowed. Prior notice should be provided to the instructor. Students are responsible for all the materials in the course.

Auditing Courses

A student who wishes to audit a course may do so with the approval of the course instructor. Students who audit courses generally are exempt from assignments and examinations; however, requirements vary depending on the course. Under no circumstances may a student make a course change from credit to audit after the last day to add a course as listed in the Academic Calendar section. A grade of AUD is recorded on the transcript if minimum attendance standards are met. No credit is given.

Audit permission forms are available in the Registrar's Office. Students registering for credit are given priority for all courses.

Class Cancellation

Evening classes may be canceled in the event of severe weather conditions creating hazardous driving. Cancellations will be announced in the late afternoon on local radio and television stations, or students may call the cancellation hotline (315) 445-4780.

Financial Responsibility

All students are responsible for any college debts they have incurred including library fees, parking fines, tuition charges and fees. A student will not receive his or her grade report at the end of a semester until all bills have been paid. At the end of the senior year, if a student has any outstanding debts, monetary penalties or fines, he or she will not be awarded a degree and will not receive any transcripts. A student may graduate after the outstanding debts and penalties have been paid.

If a college debt must be referred to outside sources for collection, the student will be responsible for paying any additional collection costs (approximately 33%) including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements.

Leave of Absence/Withdrawal from College

Students may voluntarily discontinue enrollment at the college by applying for a leave of absence or a withdrawal in good standing. Such applications will be granted if students are not already liable to dismissal for poor scholarship or misconduct and if they have a legitimate medical or other personal reason.

Students should apply for a leave of absence or withdrawal by completing an enrollment-status-change form available in the Registrar's Office. Failure to complete this form may result in a student's being deemed to have taken an unauthorized withdrawal, which may jeopardize subsequent application for readmission. A leave of absence is for a definite period of time and may be renewed in writing for up to two years, or it may be terminated by registering for courses or by withdrawing from the college. Students who have withdrawn in good standing may apply for readmission to the college at any time.

Parking Permits

All students must register their car and obtain a parking sticker. Part time and graduate education students can purchase a parking sticker at the Center for Continuing Education, Reilly Hall 342. Fall Semester, parking stickers are $10.00 and are valid from August to August. Spring semester parking stickers are $5.00 and are valid from January to August. If you purchase a sticker in the Fall semester, it is not neccessary to purchase another one for Spring. At this time, you do not need to purchase a parking sticker for Summer courses.

Proof of Immunization

Allstudents born after January 1, 1957 are required by New York State to complete the immunization form, or have their immunizations records faxed to Student Health Services (315) 445-4714 by the first day of class. In addition to the immunization form, all students will need to complete a Meningitis response form.

Refunds - Room and Board

Students residing in residence halls who are dismissed from school during the semester are not entitled to any refund. Students in good standing who voluntarily withdraw from the college during the semester will receive a room and board refund prorated from the week of withdrawal.

Refunds - Tuition

Undergraduate students who withdraw from the college for unusual circumstances, such as serious illness, are entitled to a refund of a percentage of their tuition.

The date of withdrawal will be considered the date on which a written statement of withdrawal has been received by the registrar. The following tuition refund percentage will apply for all students other than those enrolled at Le Moyne for the first time and receiving federal aid; 100 percent during the first week, 80 percent during the second week, 60 percent during the third week, 40 percent during the fourth week, 20 percent during the fifth week and no return after five weeks. If a student fails to notify the registrar of withdrawal, no refund is made.

Refund calculations are done automatically. No request is required from the student. Fees are not refundable.

Student ID's

All Le Moyne Students must have a student ID, known as a Dolphin Card. An ID is necessary to check books out of the library or to use the Recreation Center. Students can also obtain discounts on tickets to on-campus events and attend Le Moyne basketball games for free. These picture IDs may be acquired from the Student Development Office which is located in the Dining Center. Call 315-445-4526 for hours and directions.

Title IV Funds

If a student withdraws during the semester and is a recipient of Federal Title IV financial aid, charges will be prorated based on the formula prescribed by the Department of Education as stated in the Federal Register. If the student formally withdraws during the semester, the charges will be prorated up to a maximum of 60% for the term. Federal Title IV funds are required to be refunded to each program in the following order; Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan, Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant, and Federal SEOG.

Withdrawal from a Course

A class dropped prior to the conclusion of the second week of the semester (as published in the Course Schedule Booklet) will not appear on the academic record. A student who withdraws from a class after the second week, but before the end of the twelfth week of the semester (or 80% of a Summer Session), will receive a grade of "W" on the academic record. The student must secure a withdrawal form from the Registrar's Office, have it signed by the instructor of the course from which he/she is withdrawing and the student's academic advisor, and then return the form to the Registrar's Office. The withdrawal is not complete until the signed form has been returned to the Registrar's Office. A student who withdraws from class after the twelfth week of the semester (or 80% of a Summer Session) will receive a grade of "WF" on the academic record.

Students should be aware of the schedule set for refund of tuition and board (see page 19) and the deadlines for withdrawal from courses without academic penalty (see the Academic Calendar on page 2). It is also highly recommended that students arrange an interview with the Office of Financial Aid to discuss how withdrawal may affect any financial assistance for which they may be eligible.
