Extramural Study

Cornell Retirees

Cornell University encourages its retirees to take courses. Retirees may be eligible each semester for up to six credits of tuition-free study in on-campus courses.

Tuition

Retirees must pay full tuition and related fees for coursework in excess of six credits per semester or for any special program.

Registration

  1. Complete the extramural study form (pdf)
  2. Ask Maureen Brull in the Office of Human Resources, 130 Day Hall, to sign the form in place of your direct supervisor/department head.
  3. Ask the course instructor(s) (or departments) to sign or stamp the form. The instructor determines if there is space in the class and if you have completed course prerequisites, if any. The instructor's signature indicates you have permission to enroll in the course. If the college registrar's approval is required for your course (see extramural study form), you should obtain it at this step.
  4. Make a copy of the completed form for your records. Mail or bring the signed form to the Continuing Education office by September 12 for Fall 2008 and by January 30 for Spring 2009. You will be charged a late fee if you register after these dates, according to the schedule below.
  5. You must pay all course fees, or charge them to your bursar account, when you register. MasterCard and Visa are now accepted for retirees who are not registered in a degree-granting program.
