A student may be granted academic forgiveness only once via one of the following instances:
(1) Students who return to Le Moyne College after an absence of 10 consecutive years or more may apply to the Registrar for academic forgiveness in the semester they are re-admitted to the College. Eligible students will have their aged record adjusted so that all previous coursework completed at Le Moyne College will not be calculated into the student’s overall GPA. Furthermore, only courses with a grade of C- or better (not those with grades of D or F) will count for credit toward the degree program.
(2) A student who has changed majors may petition the Academic Dean for an academic reset with a forgiveness of one semester in the previous major degree program. Students must obtain a 2.5 GPA or higher in the first full semester of the new major prior to applying for academic forgiveness. If approved, all grades for the approved semester will remain on the transcript but will be removed from the calculation of student’s overall GPA – none will count towards graduation.
Academic Forgiveness for Student Athletes
For purposes of NCAA certification, a Student Athlete must meet applicable continuing eligibility requirements based on their academic record in existence at the outset of the application term. If a Student Athlete is awarded academic forgiveness in a given term, the cumulative credit hours, grade points, and GPA for that term must still be used to certify the student as an NCAA athlete for all progress towards degree and good academic standing requirements set forth by NCAA D1 legislation.

Academic standing is a point-in-time calculation (at the end of each fall and spring semester) taking into account a student’s grades in the previous semester and his/her cumulative grade point average. Satisfactory academic standing (a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0 or better) is required for students to graduate and maintain most scholarships and financial aid. No student may graduate from the College in any degree program with a cumulative G.P.A. of less than 2.0. Recognizing that the transition from high school to college is sometimes difficult, the College has established minimum standards for our first-semester, first year students.

A student who wishes to audit a course may do so with the approval of the course instructor and Department Chair. Students who audit are generally exempt from assignments and examinations; however, requirements vary depending on the course and instructor expectations. Students will negotiate the performance expectations with each instructor prior to the end of the first week of classes.
Under no circumstances may a student make a course change from credit to audit after the last day to add as designated on the Academic Calendar. A grade of AUD is recorded on the transcript. No credit is given for the course.
Audit permission forms are available in the Registrar’s Office for matriculated students or you may click here.

Undergraduate students wishing to audit will be added to the course one week prior to the start of each term. Audits will not exceed a maximum of two courses per semester and one course in shortened alternate semesters (Summer, May and J-mester). Auditing students will be required to meet the prerequisites for all courses for which they register.

Concurrent enrollment in degree programs at the Master’s, Certificate of Advanced Study, or Doctoral level must adhere to this policy.
NYSED stipulates that Master’s degree programs shall normally require a minimum of one academic year of full-time graduate level study, or its equivalent in part-time study, with an accumulation of not less than 30 semester hours. Research or a comparable occupational or professional experience shall be a component of each master’s degree program. The requirements for a master’s degree shall normally include at least one of the following: passing a comprehensive test, writing a thesis based on independent research or completing an appropriate special project.
To earn two master’s degrees concurrently, a student must complete the equivalent of two graduate program minimum degree requirements of 30-credit hours each for a minimum total of 60-credit hours. If one or both of the participating degree programs require more than the minimum of 30-credit hours, those additional credits may be “shared” and applied to both degrees. However, a minimum of 80 percent of the credit hour requirements of each respective degree must be fulfilled by unique non-shared courses. Further, a maximum of 12 credits from one master’s program, earned beyond the 30-credit hour minimum, may be applied in the second master’s program towards the minimum graduate degree requirement of 30-credit hours as long as the minimum 80% unique credit hour rule is met. In all cases, the total minimum required graduate credits remains 60. For graduate degree programs in which a student is concurrently enrolled, the program director or department chair of each of the two respective graduate degree programs must approve the specific courses to be shared and counted toward fulfillment of the respective degrees within the range of shareable credits allowed. Additionally, each respective master’s degree shall include at least one of the following capstone experiences: passing a comprehensive test, writing a thesis based on independent research, or completing an appropriate special project. The capstone experience credit for each master’s program is distinct and not shared.

Purcell Graduate Leave of Absence/Withdrawal Policy
For personal or medical reasons, a student may voluntarily discontinue enrollment at the College by requesting either a leave of absence (temporary) or a withdrawal from the College (permanent). A leave of absence is a temporary hiatus from the College with the intent to return after a specified period of time. Students requesting a leave of absence must indicate when they plan to return to their studies. The total time away from the College cannot exceed two consecutive semesters. A student may not take matriculated coursework at another institution while on a leave of absence. To be eligible to return from a leave of absence, the student must demonstrate readiness to return by satisfying all requirements for return. If a student does not return from a leave of absence at the scheduled time, the student will be administratively withdrawn from the College and must apply for readmission. A withdrawal is a permanent separation from the College. A student who has withdrawn must apply for readmission to the College if the student wishes to re-enroll. Students withdrawing from a graduate Purcell program will be contacted by a Purcell administrator for a brief exit interview. A student may request a personal or medical leave of absence or a withdrawal by completing the Purcell Graduate Leave of Absence/Withdrawal Form available through their department. A student requesting a leave of absence or withdrawal will meet with a designated program official to discuss the academic and financial implications of their decision. The designated program official will also discuss the requirements for return if a student is taking a leave of absence. If the request for a personal or medical leave of absence/withdrawal is approved for a future semester, then the student may remain enrolled in and receive grades for the current semester. The student will have a hold on future registration until the conditions of return have been met. If the request for a personal or medical leave of absence/withdrawal is approved for a current semester, then depending on the academic calendar and personal circumstance the program director or chair can determine the most appropriate resolution for the student’s enrollment. The student may not take a leave of absence and remain enrolled in the students coursework if the leave of absence is for the current semester. The College may require a student to take a medical leave of absence or withdrawal if, in the judgment of the College, the student poses an imminent threat to the lives, safety or well-being of themself or other members of the college community (including preceptor and internship settings). Except in unusual circumstances where safety is of immediate concern, the College will make a decision to involuntarily withdraw a student only after providing the student with advance notice and an opportunity to meet with Purcell officials. In cases of both medical leaves of absence and withdrawals, the tuition refund policies specified in the Le Moyne College Catalog apply.

Le Moyne students are able to repeat courses in order to replace a failing grade. Upon successful completion of the course with a passing grade of D or better at Le Moyne College, the passing grade will replace the failing grade in the student’s G.P.A., attempted credits, earned credits, and degree requirements. In addition, the previous failing grade will be changed to the respective F*, PF*, or WF* and will no longer count towards credits attempted, credits completed, or G.P.A.
Repeated Course results in an F grade
If a student earns a failing grade during the first attempt at repeating a previous failing grade in the same course, the previous failing grade is changed to F* or WF* but the newly earned failing grade will calculate into the student’s attempted credits, earned credits, and G.P.A. The student then has the opportunity to repeat the course again, however, only one F*/WF* is permitted per course. Any grades received in a course outside of the F*/WF* are calculated into the students attempted credits, calculated credits, and G.P.A.
Repeating Passed Courses
A course may be repeated in order to improve a student’s academic record when the first enrollment resulted in a passing grade. Students may not receive credit for any successive repeats of a course after a passing grade is received. The grade received from the repeated attempt of a successfully completed course is factored into the students G.P.A. but will not be calculated in the student’s attempted or completed credits.
If a student were to receive a failing grade in a repeated course where he/she has already earned a passing grade, an F*, PF*, or WF* will not, under any circumstance, be applied. Both the passing grade and the failing grade will calculate into the student’s attempted credits and G.P.A.

Le Moyne College strongly encourages its students to study abroad during their tenure as a student. The coursework completed during a study abroad experience in the fall/spring semester through an approved and affiliated study abroad program with Le Moyne will be applied to the student’s degree program as grades rather than transfer credit.
Transfer credit will be applied for passing grades received through approved study abroad experiences during J-mester, May-mester, or summer sessions. Study abroad courses during these terms must be approved by the Department Chair via the Transfer Course Approval for Core Courses form or the Transfer Course Approval for Major, Major Support, and Elective Courses form.
Students are required to submit a completed Study Abroad Approval form outlining the courses the student intends to take while abroad and the degree requirements the course(s) will fulfill upon returning.
Students studying abroad for a full semester are eligible to receive Encountering Another Culture (EAC) credit in the Core Curriculum. Please see the Core Director for approval

Transfer Student Policies
The acceptance or denial of transfer credit is not determined exclusively on the basis of the accreditation of the sending institution or the mode of delivery, but, rather, will consider course equivalencies, including expected learning outcomes, with those of the receiving institution’s curricula and standards (Characteristics of Excellence, Standard 11, MSCHE). Transfer credit will only be awarded to courses from regionally accredited institutions of higher learning with coursework satisfactorily completed (grade of C- or above).
Transfer students are waived from the COR 100 (First-Year seminar) requirement in the Core Curriculum. An eligible free elective of one credit hour or more will replace this requirement (see Core Curriculum policies).
Transfer Credit Evaluations
Transfer of credit is based on a course-by-course evaluation with the primary consideration being equivalency in description to courses offered at Le Moyne. Le Moyne will accept transfer credit only for coursework satisfactorily completed (grade of C- or above) at regionally accredited institutions.
Transfer Credit Limitations
Courses taken in technical areas, remedial courses, internships, field experiences, physical education and health courses, courses in which grades of “D” were earned, and courses taken pass/fail will not transfer to Le Moyne. Courses which are more elementary than Le Moyne’s introductory level are not accepted for transfer.
A maximum of 60 credit hours may be accepted from a two-year college and a maximum of 90 credit hours may be accepted from a four-year college. It is, however, very unlikely that 90 credits will apply to the Le Moyne programs since half of the courses listed as “major requirements” in the Le Moyne catalog must be completed at Le Moyne.
Although Le Moyne College requires a grade of C- or better in order to be considered for transfer credit, only the course credit will only be transferred into Le Moyne College and not the grade earned. Transfer credit is not calculated into a student’s grade point average (GPA).
International Transfer Credit
Students transferring credits from an accredited International College or University must submit a translated World Education Services (WES) transcript and evaluation in order for the student’s credits to be reviewed and considered for Le Moyne College credit.
Advanced Placement (AP)/International Baccalaureate (IB)/College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
- AP Credit
- Le Moyne College supports Advanced Placement (AP) programs of the College Entrance Examination Board and acknowledges the accomplishments of those students who, through high scores on AP examinations, have demonstrated special academic achievement during high school. Le Moyne College accepts a wide variety of Advanced Placement (AP) credit with a minimum score of “3” on the AP exam. Some exams may require a score of “4” or “5” in order to receive transfer credit for specific courses. For a complete list of AP course equivalencies, please visit the Registrar’s Office website.
- CLEP Exams
- Le Moyne College grants academic credit for some subject examinations of CLEP to students who attain a score in at least the 50th percentile on the multiple choice test. The optional essay for some exams may be required in order to receive Le Moyne College transfer credit. Please visit the Registrar’s Office website for more information and CLEP exam equivalencies.
- IB (International Baccalaureate) Exams
- Matriculated students seeking credit for IB courses completed during high school must have official score reports sent to Le Moyne College Registrar’s Office. IB credits are reviewed on an individual basis and determined by the score received on the exam as well as the diploma earned. To view a list of acceptable IB courses as well as the levels and diplomas required, please visit the Registrar’s Office website.
