Continuing Education
Persons who have completed a bachelor's degree are eligible for admission as Continuing Education students. Former Cornell students who have not completed a bachelor's degree may return to Cornell as a readmitted student (see Index. Readmission). Persons who do not have a degree and do not plan to pursue a degree or certification may take up to four courses under the Continuing Education Program.
Continuing Education students have the option of enrolling either full- or part-time and as degree or non-degree candidates. Degree candidates have a choice of three baccalaureate programs (see Index. Degree Programs). Students may take courses to enrich themselves, to earn transferable credits for admission to graduate programs, for teacher certification, completion of a second major or minor, or on a trial basis to decide whether they wish to matriculate as degree candidates.
Cornell's unique One-Course-At-A-Time calendar makes it possible for students to enroll in the College at any time during the academic year and to choose the months of the year during which they can study.
The Admission Office coordinates the admission of Continuing Education students. The Continuing Education Program offers reduced tuition in lieu of other Cornell financial aid. Continuing Education students may apply for Stafford Loans or may use Veterans' Administration or Vocational Rehabilitation benefits toward the reduced tuition. All financial aid to Continuing Education students must come from sources outside the College and will be applied toward the entire year's charges before refunds are made. Students not receiving financial aid may elect to pay for courses one at a time with payment due prior to the beginning of each course. Non-degree students may take up to four course credits at Cornell at the reduced tuition rate.
Continuing Education students may use the facilities and support services of the College and are subject to the same academic regulations and procedures that apply to other Cornell students. The chief exceptions are that Continuing Education students may take as many terms off during the academic year as they wish, do not receive the ninth term free, and are not eligible to live in College housing.
Students who have received a baccalaureate degree from Cornell College and who wish to obtain another major must:
- Complete the major requirements, including any resident and/or upper-division requirements, for the second major; and
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 at Cornell College.
Students who hold a baccalaureate degree from another regionally accredited college or university, and who wish to obtain another baccalaureate degree must:
- Meet admission requirements;
- Complete at least eight term credits in Cornell College campus-based programs, including any general college requirements which were not completed for the first baccalaureate degree (see Index. General Requirements for Degree Programs);
- Complete the major requirements, including resident and/or upper-division requirements, for the second degree; and
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 at Cornell College in order to graduate.
