Extramural student

Are you interested in furthering your career, continuing your education, or simply having fun learning something new? As long as you are not currently enrolled in a Cornell degree program, you may take one or two courses during the summer (as well as during the fall and spring semesters) as an extramural student.

Extramural students earn credit for all courses taken and their grades are recorded on an official university transcript.

Questions about applying credit earned through extramural study toward Cornell degrees or about admission to Cornell must be directed to the appropriate college. The transfer of credit to another institution is subject to the approval of that institution.

During the summer, you may enroll online* or off.

* not all classes are available for online enrollment (e.g. Physical Education courses). Please check the individual class listings for specific enrollment instructions.
