Gap year policy
Admitted students may request to defer their enrollment to Cornell College by submitting a written rationale of what they plan to do during their gap year. This written request should be sent to the Admission Office for the Director of Admission to review. Approved students must agree to:
Submit the $300 enrollment deposit to reserve their place in the class and any merit or fine arts scholarships or awards.
Not pursue admission nor seek deferred enrollment at another institution.
Not enroll as a degree-seeking student in college classes. (Students are allowed to take up to two credit courses per semester as a non-degree seeking student, thought students should contact Cornell's Office of Admission for approval.)
Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually as Cornell does not reserve need-based financial assistance.
