This reciprocal arrangement between Ithaca College and Cornell University allows matriculated full-time students with prior approval and within stated stipulations, to cross-register for one course per semester. This arrangement is available during the fall and spring semesters only, and is contingent on space availability. A maximum of 12 credits may be taken through this program. No additional tuition is charged except in the case of students enrolled during any one semester for a total of more than 18 credits (Ithaca College and Cornell combined). Those students are subject to additional tuition charges on a per-credit basis.

For further information, kindly contact the Division of Graduate and Professional Studies at gps@ithaca.edu or 607-274-3143.

If you are an IC student, exchange program petitions are available at the office of Graduate and Professional Studies (120 Towers Concourse) or you can click here for a pdf version of the petition.
