IV. Other, Non-Cornell-Affiliated Off-Campus Study [999]

Students who wish to study off campus through programs not formally affiliated with Cornell College may petition the Academic Standing Committee for permission to participate. Such petitions should be filed by February 1 of the year preceding the academic year in which the program is to be undertaken, and in any case not later than one month before the date on which the application to the host institution or sponsoring agency is due. There are two avenues by which such participation may be considered:

  • If approved by the Committee on behalf of Cornell and agreeable to the sponsoring college or university, and if the duration of the program will not exceed one academic year, the two institutions may enter into a consortium agreement. Under such an arrangement, the College will consider the student to be enrolled at Cornell while participating in the approved program, and will provide any federal and state financial assistance to which the student is entitled. Cornell-funded scholarship and aid monies are not generally available to students participating in non-affiliated programs.

  • Students who wish to participate in non-affiliated off-campus programs for which consortium agreements cannot be made may petition the Academic Standing Committee for an Academic Leave, provided the duration of the program does not exceed 180 days. Under this agreement, the College will not provide financial aid of any type.

Grades for students participating in off-campus programs, whether by virtue of consortium agreements or on Academic Leave, will be posted as transfer work, i.e., as ``Credit'' only, provided grades of ``C'' or better are earned. If, after completing the program, the participant does not re-enroll at Cornell, the courses taken and the credits earned in the program will not be recorded on the student's Cornell transcript unless he or she pays a processing fee of $100 for each course transferred.
