Please read the related section degree requirements.

All full-time students will be presumed to be studying for a degree and will be considered matriculated unless they have specified that they are not studying for a degree. In such instances they will be recorded as non-matriculated. Non-matriculated students may select courses according to their individual interests but are advised that should they later decide to matriculate, only courses applicable to a specific degree program can be counted toward that degree.

Part-time students may study on either a matriculated or a non-matriculated basis. Matriculated students must have been admitted into the College and must be pursuing a Le Moyne College degree.

All degrees awarded by Le Moyne College are authorized by the New York State Board of Regents and are registered with the New York State Education Department. Enrollment in non-registered or non-approved programs may jeopardize a student's eligibility for certain student aid awards.

The objective of curricula leading to a bachelor of science degree is to provide the student with the knowledge that may be necessary for advanced study or practical application in various fields as well as a thorough training in the methods of that field.

The bachelor of arts degree is the traditional academic degree. The programs leading to it place emphasis on the humanities.

In order to receive a bachelor degree, the student must:

1. Obtain a passing grade in all courses required for the major program including the College core.

2. Complete half of the major requirements at Le Moyne.

3. Complete half the minor requirements at Le Moyne.

4. Complete, in residency, at least one nine hour integrated sequence in the humanities core.

5. Have a 2.0 overall grade point average.

6. Have a 2.0 grade point average in the major courses and/or minor courses.

7. Complete at least 30 hours at Le Moyne.

8. Complete any additional requirements as specified in a particular major.

Le Moyne expects all students to attend scheduled classes regularly in order to maximize opportunities to profit from a professor's expertise and from interchange with their peers, as well as to contribute to the quality of intellectual interchange in the class.

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.

In order to foster academic excellence and preserve the priority of academics and classroom learning, Le Moyne College should operate under the principle that the scheduling of athletic events should be done with the aim of not interfering with the class attendance of the student athlete.

However:

1. All students are granted at least five absences from each course that meets three times a week. For courses that meet fewer than three times weekly, the number of allowed absences is proportionately reduced.

2. Students on the Dean's List (3.5 and above) are granted the privilege of unlimited absences. This privilege, however, may not be used in classes of 20 or fewer without the explicit approval of the instructor.

A student who wishes to audit a course may do so with the approval of the academic dean and 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.

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 Assistant Academic Vice President's Office or 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 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.

Students should be aware of the schedule set for refund of tuition and board (see page 18) 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.
