Continuing Education
Persons interested in taking courses to enrich themselves, to earn transferable credits for admission to graduate programs, for teacher certification, or high school students on a trial basis to decide whether they wish to matriculate as degree candidates are eligible for admission as Continuing Education students, and may take up to four courses. After four blocks of enrollment with Continuing Education status, a student must apply for admission to enter a degree program. 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 must pay for courses on a term-by-term basis, may take as many terms off during the academic year as they wish, and are only eligible to live in College housing with permission of the Dean of Students.
A Cornell College graduate may enroll for an additional major, preparation for graduate school, or for licensure to teach. A former Cornell student who has not completed a baccalaureate degree must return to Cornell as a readmitted student (see Index. Readmission). Cornell's unique One-Course-At-A-Time calendar makes it possible for Continuing Education 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 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 and may use Veterans' Administration and Vocational Rehabilitation benefits toward tuition charges. 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 one week prior to the beginning of each course.
If a Continuing Education student wishes to pursue a baccalaureate degree, he or she must apply for admission to Cornell, providing official transcripts, and any other information required by the Office of Admissions. Degree candidates have a choice of four baccalaureate programs (see Index. Degree Programs).
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.
