Classification of Students

A student’s classification depends upon the number of credits earned. To be ranked as a sophomore or above, a student must have met all entrance requirements and submitted official transcripts for all transfer schools. Non-matriculated students not working on a degree will be classified as non-degree.

Bachelor's degrees at Molloy College require a minimum of 128 credits. This means a full-time student needs to complete 16 credits each semester to achieve graduation in 8 semesters.
