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!

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All courses are offered based upon adequate enrollment; faculty and staff appointments may change. Courses may be taken sequentially, but not concurrently.

THE ISLAND SEMESTER
Qualified students may earn a full semester's college credit (up to 16 credit hours) in three summer months. Students may apply for any number of non-concurrent courses during the summer.
