For parents/guardians of accepted students

Please take these steps to complete your student's registration:

  1. Submit the program charge.

  2. Follow the steps on the paperwork checklist and complete the related forms.

  3. Review the online Summer College handbook, including information about how to get to Summer College, local lodging, what your student should bring, final exam schedules, and end-of-program checkout times.

  4. Acquaint yourself with the Opening Day schedule for the program your student will be attending and the Welcome Booklet which your student will receive on Opening Day.

  5. If your student will be riding in a private car or staying overnight off campus, please complete and submit a permission form(s). (If necessary, these forms may be submitted after your student arrives on campus and by 4:00 p.m. on the day of departure or by 4:00 p.m. on Friday for the weekend.)
  6. Bookmark this page! It will be updated in the coming months with additional information of interest to Summer College parents.

Please be sure to contact us if you have any questions about these steps.

And finally, just for fun, consider sending a Cornell postcard to your family or friends letting them know about the newest Cornellian in your family!
