Continuing Education
Persons 25 years of age or older or persons who have completed a bachelor's degree are eligible for admission as Continuing Education students. Former Cornell students who meet the age requirement but who have not completed a bachelor's degree are eligible to return as Continuing Education students three or more years after their last enrollment at Cornell (see Readmission). Persons who already hold a bachelor's degree may enroll for a second bachelor's degree or for licensure to teach. Persons under 25 may take up to four courses through Continuing Education as non-degree students.
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 four baccalaureate programs (see Degree Programs). Non-degree students may take courses to enrich themselves, to earn transferable credits for admission to graduate or other undergraduate programs, 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 Admissions Office coordinates the admission of adult students. The Continuing Education Program offers reduced tuition in lieu of other Cornell-financed aid. Continuing Education students may apply for the Iowa Tuition Grant, Pell Grant, and Stafford Loan, 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 as 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.
It is strongly recommended that all new students attend a special Continuing Education orientation held prior to the beginning of each academic year. The orientation will provide information specific to Continuing Education and will help ease the student's adjustment to Cornell. Students entering Cornell during the academic year should contact the Office of Student Affairs for information about later orientation.
