... Admissions4.1
All students are admitted to Cornell as candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts and remain B.A. candidates, regardless of their intention, until they have filed for and been officially granted admission to another degree program. Students who have neglected to obtain the necessary approvals to change from the B.A. program prior to the start of their senior year will be required to complete the B.A. requirements.

... year4.2
By attending this conference, students formally declare their desire to be graduated at the end of the academic year and register how they wish their names to appear on their diplomas. The Registrar informs the student and her or his faculty advisor of the requirements to be completed. No further check is made by the Registrar until after the start of Term Nine. The student, therefore, is responsible for fulfilling the conditions stated on the sheet given to her or him at the end of the conference and for consulting the Registrar before changing any of the courses for which he or she was registered at the time the check was done. Students who will be off-campus during all or part of their senior year must arrange for their conference before leaving campus and must reconfirm their status and credits with the Registrar at least one month before Commencement.
