Incoming Transfers from Outside Cornell

As a new engineering transfer student, your main advisor will be from your major department. Engineering Advising can also help you with common curriculum requirements, planning for study abroad, pre-health career courses, and other questions outside your major.

Pre-Enrollment Delay

Due to an unforeseen technical issue, pre-enrollment will need to be delayed by one day. We very much apologize for this, and we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Here is What the Delay Means for You:

  • Pre-enrollment will now open on Tuesday, July 21 at 12 p.m. (noon) EST (rather than today, Monday, July 20)
  • Pre-enrollment will extend this week and will close on Friday, July 24 at 4 p.m. EST instead
  • There are no other changes or differences in how you should pre-enroll in Student Center starting on Tuesday

It is your responsibility to visit this website and to check your Cornell email account often between June and your arrival in August for continued information, deadlines, and updates from Duffield Engineering.

Starting in early June, Engineering Advising will begin periodically emailing new transfer students throughout the summer with important information as it relates to enrolling in classes, preparing for fall semester, and much more!
