Undergraduate Transfer Credit
Students who matriculate as transfer students may transfer a maximum of 60 credits from an accredited institution.
To earn transfer credit, students must take the course for a letter grade and earn a grade of C or higher. Transfer credits will only be accepted from an accredited institution. Transfer credits must be equivalent to Cornell courses. Equivalence will be assessed by these criteria:
- Course content (at least 80% of material covered in a similar Cornell course)
- The use of a textbook similar to that used in the parallel Cornell course
- The use of examinations, writing assignments, projects or other submitted work that is substantially similar to those required in a similar Cornell course
- Substantial similarity in meeting hours of the Cornell and non-Cornell course
Students who matriculate as first-years may apply a maximum of 15 non-Cornell credits earned toward the 120 credits required for graduation. These credits include test credit and college credits earned elsewhere.
Once matriculated, all students are limited to a total of 15 extramural credits throughout the course of their degree. Extramural credits include credits taken during the summer or winter session at Cornell or at another institution. These limitations do not apply to approved study-abroad programs. Total transfer credit cannot exceed 60 credits, including test credit and credit from approved study abroad programs.
