Le Moyne College

What is the accreditation of Le Moyne College?

Le Moyne College holds institutional accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Institutional accreditation applies to the college as a whole and is distinct from accreditation of a particular degree program.

This status is important for federal student-aid eligibility, although an individual student must also meet aid-program requirements. It can matter when seeking to transfer credits, but another institution decides which credits it will accept. Likewise, institutional accreditation alone does not establish eligibility for a professional license.

Students entering a regulated field should check the accreditation and licensing information for their specific program and intended state of practice. Business and health-professions applicants, in particular, should distinguish a school-level or program-level accreditation claim from Middle States' accreditation of the institution.

What are the admission requirements at Le Moyne College?

First-year applicants generally apply with a high school record, GPA information, and recommendations. Le Moyne is not an open-admission college: in the reported admissions cycle, it admitted approximately 83% of its 7,050 first-year applicants.

SAT and ACT scores are considered but are not required under the reported admissions policy. Among enrolled first-year students, about 12% submitted SAT scores and about 3% submitted ACT scores, so published score summaries describe a small, self-selected group rather than the entire class. Applicants should check the policy for their intended entry term and program before deciding whether to send scores.

Applicants educated outside an English-language curriculum may need to demonstrate English proficiency; reported admissions requirements include the TOEFL. Requirements can differ for transfer, graduate, and professionally regulated programs. The application instructions for a particular program and start term are the appropriate place to confirm essays, deadlines, and any additional prerequisites.

What are the application fees and waivers at Le Moyne College?

Applicants should check the fee displayed in Le Moyne's current application before submitting it. An application charge, if applicable to their application route, is separate from an enrollment deposit or any later tuition payment.

Students for whom a fee would be a hardship can ask admissions about available fee waivers and how to request one. That question is best resolved before submission: application systems can have different waiver procedures, and paying a fee first does not necessarily make it refundable. Transfer and graduate applicants should check the instructions for their own application rather than assume the first-year process applies to them.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Le Moyne College?

Le Moyne students can explore Army ROTC and Air Force ROTC through cooperating institutions rather than through a Le Moyne-operated ROTC unit. Syracuse University is a nearby host for ROTC participation, but students should confirm the applicable cross-enrollment arrangement, class schedule, and travel requirements with the host program.

Joining ROTC is different from receiving an ROTC scholarship. Scholarship selection, medical and other eligibility rules, and eventual service obligations depend on the branch and the student's participation agreement. Prospective cadets should ask both the ROTC unit and Le Moyne how military-science courses fit into their degree plan.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Le Moyne College?

Le Moyne accepts transfer applicants for fall and spring enrollment and generally considers coursework from other accredited institutions for transfer credit. Admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular courses toward a degree are separate decisions.

Applicants should be prepared to provide official transcripts from every college attended and to review any additional requirements for their intended major. Le Moyne also reports accepting some credit through CLEP examinations and American Council on Education recommendations; the amount and degree applicability of such credit require an individual evaluation.

Before committing to enroll, a transfer applicant should request a written review showing which courses meet major, core, and elective requirements. This is especially consequential for nursing, education, and other sequenced programs: receiving elective credit does not necessarily shorten the time needed to complete required courses or placements.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Le Moyne College?

Le Moyne offers pathways for students to study internationally, including options that may vary by destination, term length, and program provider. Students should distinguish a college-led experience from an approved partner or third-party program because academic oversight, billing, and support arrangements can differ.

Planning early matters for majors with tightly sequenced courses or clinical requirements. Before applying, students should obtain approval for how courses will count toward their Le Moyne degree and ask whether their grants, scholarships, and other aid can be used for the specific program. Travel, passport, insurance, and housing expenses may also differ from a semester in Syracuse.
