This section is not required for Liberal Studies and Advisor-Approved Electives, unless you wish to apply transfer credit toward a minor. This section must be completed only if you are applying for transfer credit to satisfy requirements in mathematics, science,and engineering. The corresponding Cornell department must approve course equivalency (i.e., if seeking credit for MATH 1910, the Math department will need to sign and approve. See reverse side for more information.) If you are applying for a major elective and there is not an equivalent Cornell course, please indicate “N/A” for Course # and “Major Elective” as the course title. Cornell Equivalent Course #: Cornell Course Credit Hours: Cornell Equivalent Course Title: □ I have reviewed the appropriate material related to the courses described above and believe that the two are reasonably equivalent in content, rigor, and level. I recommend that credit be awarded only if a minimum grade of C is earned. If MATH 1910, 1920, 2930, or 2940 are taken at a tw0-year or community college, then a grade of at least A- must be earned.

Students must complete this application to obtain approval for transfer credit to be applied to their Cornell degree requirements. Transfer courses must be equivalent in content, rigor, and level to courses offered by Cornell University. Students should submit a completed Transfer Credit Application Form before taking a course. Please review the following policies pertaining to transfer credit:
- Actual credit applied to Cornell degree requirements will not be greater than the credits earned at the transfer institution, nor will these be greater than the Cornell equivalent course. - Transfer credit will only be awarded for courses offered by regionally accredited, degree-granting, postsecondary institutions. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are not eligible for transfer credit. - Transfer credit will not be awarded for courses taken during a fall or spring semester in which a student is enrolled at Cornell in a degree program. - A grade of at least a C (not C-) must be earned for a course to be eligible for transfer credit. If MATH 1910, 1920, 2930, or 2940 are taken at a two-year or community college, then a grade of at least A- must be earned. Grades for courses taken at other institutions do not appear on the official Cornell transcript and are not included in the Cornell cumulative GPA. - A maximum of 18 transfer credits from regionally accredited institutions may be applied to engineering degree requirements after matriculation at Cornell. Approval of credit on this form does not constitute a waiver to the 18 credit limit. A waiver can only be requested through a formal petition. - Any transfer credit taken prior to Cornell matriculation (i.e. in high school) must be accompanied by a High School Guidance Counsler Certification Form available at the Registrar’s Office (170 Rhodes Hall). - An official transcript from the transfer institution must be sent to the Engineering Registrar’s Office after completion of the course. Any application lacking an official transcript on file after one year will be null and void. A new application will be required for further approvals. - Complete Section A in full for each course for which you are requesting transfer credit. **- Section B must be completed by the Cornell department that offers the equivalent course if you are applying for transfer credit in math, science or engineering.
