WILL CORNELL/UNH CREDITS TRANSFER TO MY HOME SCHOOL?
Students enrolled at universities other than CU or UNH should check with their own registrar to determine the transferability of credits. Talk to your academic advisor about how to transfer Cornell credits. Cornell cannot guarantee transferability of credits to your home institution – but, SML can help: CONTACT the SML admissions team.

WHAT ABOUT GRADUATE CREDITS?
Grad students should check with their home institution to find out if Cornell or UNH credit can be applied toward your graduate degree. Talk to your advisor!

THE ISLAND SEMESTER
