I'm thinking about transferring to Le Moyne College and I'm trying to figure out what their transfer requirements are. Does anyone know what GPA is required or if they need certain credits before applying?
Le Moyne College does take transfer students pretty seriously. The good news is they have a fairly flexible transfer policy, which is great for students like yourself who might be interested in pursuing this track.
To start, Le Moyne has a listed general minimum GPA of 2.6 for transfers; however, most successful applicants have GPA closer to 3.0 in their previous college coursework. Having a GPA around 3.0 or higher will make you a strong competitive candidate.
In terms of credits, the college requires that at least half of your total credit hours required for your major be completed at Le Moyne. Still, credits earned from accredited two-year and four-year colleges will generally transfer if the coursework is similar to what's offered at Le Moyne and if you've earned a grade of 'C' or better.
That being said, it's always a good idea to speak with an academic advisor at Le Moyne or another school official to verify your credits as well as to understand which ones might transfer over. Additionally, you might find it beneficial to review Le Moyne's program requirements for your intended major to ensure you're taking relevant courses.
Lastly, besides your transcript, you’ll need to complete the Common Application for transfer students and provide at least one recommendation letter, preferably from a professor or academic advisor.
Hope this information answers your question and best of luck with your transfer process!
