Summer Session
During Summer Session, you can complete prerequisites, lighten your fall or spring course load, accelerate your degree program, or study something new. Regular Cornell courses are offered in three-, six-, or eight-week sessions. Summer Session features open admissions and outstanding instructors, nearly all of whom are regular Cornell faculty members. Courses are offered on and off campus and online.
Summer Session courses:
For courses, on- and off-campus programs, and online learning options, visit summer.cornell.edu.
Winter Session
You can earn up to four credits between the fall and spring semesters by enrolling in Winter Session. During this time, you’ll enjoy generally smaller classes and be able to concentrate on intensive study with a faculty member. Courses are offered online.
Winter Session courses:
For online learning options, visit winter.cornell.edu.
Independent Study
Have a special interest you’d like to pursue? Want to do research and get credit for it? Need a particular course to graduate on time? Consider independent study.
Independent study encompasses courses of your own design, special topics courses, undergraduate research, or any regular course from the fall and spring semesters not being offered. If you can find a professor willing to supervise your study, all you need to do is complete the application for independent study (available on our website) and register at least two weeks prior to beginning the independent study course. Also, please let the SCE registrar know if there are courses you would like to see offered next summer or winter. For information, email cusce@cornell.edu or call (607) 255-4987.
Online Learning
Students: Need a flexible schedule? Planning to travel or work during the winter break or summer months? Don’t let that stop you from taking a class, earning credits, or learning something new. You’ll interact with the instructor and other students in Canvas. For information, visit sce.cornell.edu/online, email cusce@cornell.edu, call (607) 255-4987, or write to Online Learning, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853.
Faculty: If you are a faculty member interested in developing credit online courses, SCE offers a broad range of services, including determining technological needs, resolving copyright issues, creating a marketing plan, and fulfilling administrative duties related to your course. Visit sce.cornell.edu to see what’s possible.
Part-time Study
If your studies are interrupted for any reason, you may find it useful to take classes on a part-time basis. SCE also offers part-time study to staff and faculty members, area residents, and anyone interested in taking courses at the university, improving their job skills, continuing their education, or simply having fun learning something new.
Thanks to the Part-time Study Program, almost anyone may enroll in almost any course at Cornell during the fall and spring semesters if space is available. Part-time study at Cornell is a great opportunity to take fascinating courses and study with world-renowned faculty members.

Precollege Studies for High School Students
If you know any high school students, be sure to tell them about Cornell’s Precollege Studies. This award-winning program offers three-, six-, and nine-week courses for motivated sophomores, juniors, and seniors from around the world.
