Duffield College of Engineering Graduation Requirements

Undergraduate Study

Students in the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering spend most of their first two years of undergraduate studies in the Common Curriculum, which is administered by the College Curriculum Governing Board (CCGB) through the associate dean for undergraduate programs and Engineering Advising. By the end of their third semester, they typically apply to affiliate with an Engineering major and must be affiliated by the start of their fifth semester.

Criteria for affiliation with the majors are described in this section under "Affiliation with a Major". The Undergraduate Duffield Engineering Majors are listed on the Duffield College of Engineering Programs page.

Many of the majors have a corresponding minor, in which the student can pursue a secondary interest if eligible. In addition, there are minors that cut across majors including applied mathematics, engineering management, engineering statistics, game design, artificial intelligence, information science, and business. See Engineering Minors section of the Duffield College of Engineering Programs page for a listing of Undergraduate Minors.

Duffield Engineering Core Requirements - Engineering Major

Duffield Engineering Majors

To receive the bachelor of science degree, students must meet the requirements of the Common Curriculum (outlined below) as set forth by the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering, including the requirements of their chosen major, as established by the school or department that administers the major. (Further explanation of the revised Common Curriculum and major flow charts are provided in the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook.)

¹

The total number of math and science credits must be =>29 credits.

²

Engineering-communication courses may simultaneously fulfill another requirement.

Total credits required for graduation vary by major (see Engineering Majors).

Mathematics

The normal program in mathematics includes MATH 1910, MATH 1920, MATH 2930 or MATH 2940 (depending on the major), and a major-specific math course for some majors. At least C– must be attained in these courses; if not, the course must be repeated immediately before the next course in the sequence is taken. Failure to achieve at least C– the second time will result in, at minimum, an automatic required leave of absence for one semester from Duffield Engineering. Courses that are taken a second time do not yield additional credit toward a degree.

Physics

The normal program in physics includes PHYS 1112, PHYS 1110, PHYS 2213, and PHYS 2214 or the corresponding honors courses (PHYS 1116, PHYS 1110, PHYS 2210, PHYS 2217, and PHYS 2218). Engineering students should attain at least C– in each math prerequisite of a physics course before taking the physics course (e.g., C– in MATH 1910 before taking PHYS 1112 and C– in MATH 1920 before taking PHYS 2213). Substitutions for PHYS 2214 are possible in certain majors. Please consult the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook for details.

Chemistry

CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 is required. While the content of CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 is the same as that of CHEM 2070 and CHEM 2071, Engineering students are expected to take CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091.

Typically, CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 is taken during the first year, but students who are eligible to start the physics sequence (PHYS 1112, PHYS 1110, PHYS 2213, and PHYS 2214, depending on the major), based on completion of math prerequisites, may postpone CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 until the sophomore year.

Students considering Chemical Engineering or a health-related career such as medicine must take CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 in the fall of their first year and CHEM 2080 and CHEM 2081 in the spring semester.

Computing

Students must complete one Introduction to Computing course during either semester of the first year. Students can take either CS 1110 or CS 1112. Some majors may have a preference of either CS 1110 or CS 1112, however, either one will count toward the degree requirement. CS 1132 and CS 1133 cannot substitute for the Computing requirement but can count toward Advisor Approved electives.

First-Year Writing Seminars

Each semester of their first year, students choose a first-year writing seminar from courses offered by over 30 different departments across the university. These courses offer the student practice in writing English prose and college level discourse within a small class (<20) setting.

Engineering Communications

Students can fulfill the Engineering Communications Requirement using one of the options below. See the Engineering Communications Program website for more information.

Category A: Via the Engineering Communications Program Courses and Opportunities

1. Engineering Communication Program Courses
   Courses in this category, offered by the Engineering Communications Program (ECP), develop communication skills in a variety of genres, including writing, presenting, multimodal forms, graphics, charts, posters, and other. These courses fulfill the Engineering Communications Requirement for Cornell Duffield Engineering.

   Course List

   Code	Title	Hours
   ENGRC 3025	Creating and Communicating Your Digital Professionalism	1
   ENGRC 3026	Engineering Presentations and Expert Presence	1

   ENGRC 3700	Communications Consulting for Engineers	3

2. Complete a Communication-Intensive Co-op, listed as ENGRC 3024
   This is an opportunity to combine work and academics. Some co-op students do a significant amount of writing and other communicative work on the job; under certain circumstances, a set of authentic work artifacts combined with on-site manager reviews and guide, reflective summary assignments with an ECP instructor will satisfy the Engineering Communications Requirement. This option does not count toward the Liberal Studies requirements. Students should begin organizing this request the semester prior to being on-site for the co-op or internship. Not offered AY 2026-2027.
3. Enroll in and pass ENGRC 3023
   Students must apply for and pass this 1-credit attachment to a 3-credit or 4-credit engineering course in a major that is not one of the officially designated W-I or C-I courses. Engineering instructors may occasionally wish to extend communication opportunities added work inside their course for a given semester so that it will fulfill the Engineering Communications Requirement. With approval from the College Curriculum Governing Board (CCGB) Subcommittee on Engineering Communications, instructors may have students co-register in ENGRC 3023, which may be taken more than once with different courses by permission of the engineering instructors. The highest grade possible for ENGRC 3341 is an "A." This option does not count toward the Liberal Studies requirement for engineers, even via petition. More information can be found at the Cornell Engineering website.
   To begin, send an email to engrcomm_info@cornell.edu, requesting the full ENGRC 3023 information and application packet. Please insert "3023 request" in the subject line.
   Paperwork is due by the last Wednesday in January for the Spring semester.

4. Enroll in and pass ENGRC 3341.

Students must apply for and pass this 1-credit opportunity, where the student is guided by a Cornell Duffield Engineering professor on a directed, semester-long project. Sometimes, a student may be involved in a significant amount of engineering or technical communication elsewhere in Duffield Engineering. In these cases, it may be possible to petition the CCGB’s Subcommittee on Engineering Communications for permission to use this work for future projects (not past ones) to meet the Engineering Communications Requirement.

Students and their mentoring Engineering faculty should plan ahead for this option. To request the information packet and application form, email  engrcomm_info@cornell.edu with “3341 request” in the subject line. For questions or to schedule an appointment, email the same address.

Please note that this option does not fulfill the Liberal Studies requirement, even with a petition. The highest grade possible for ENGRC 3341 is an “A.” Because it is a 1-credit course, it cannot be used to meet a Liberal Studies requirement, even by petition.

• All 3341 paperwork must be submitted by the last Wednesday of January for consideration for Spring semester consideration.
• All 3341 paperwork must be submitted by the last Wednesday of August for consideration for Fall semester consideration.
• Students who are approved will enroll in a 1cr graded course using a PIN provided by the Engineering Communications Program Director.

5. Complete and Pass a One Credit Partner Course

The current options are below, and they require enrollment in the departmental course (usually three credits) and its corresponding ENRGRC course (one credit). The below courses do not count toward the Liberal Studies requirement for engineers, even via petition:

Course List

Code	Title	Hours
ENGRC 3152	Communication for Game Development 1	1
ENGRC 3610	Communication for Transportation Engineering 2	1
ENGRC 4152	Communication for Advanced Game Development 3	1

Category B: Via Other Paths

1. Take an officially designated Writing-Intensive (W-I) or Communication-Intensive (C-I) engineering course.​

• Note: The following course list is not comprehensive, as different engineering departments may offer W-I or C-I courses on an ad-hoc basis. Indeed, these offerings can change each semester. Students need to check with their major advisors each semester to confirm if a course will fulfill the Engineering Communications Requirement; curriculum approvals are made by each major via CCGB approval. W-I or C-I courses are based in a major, as part of that major's regular core offerings to its declared/affiliated undergraduate majors. This option does not count toward the Liberal Studies requirement for engineers, even via petition. See also the CE Undergraduate Handbook.
• It's important to note that these options usually only fulfill the Engineering Communications Requirement for their own majors. Students, advisors, and departments need to cross check against each student's major requirements for graduation. The Engineering Communications Program does not control, monitor, or assess for these courses. This option does not count toward the Liberal Studies requirement for engineers, even via petition.

2. Enroll in and Pass COMM 3020 or COMM 3030

• Enroll in and pass COMM 3020 or COMM 3030 taught by the Department of Communication (in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences). The Engineering Communications Program does not control, monitor, or assess for these courses. This option does not count toward the Liberal Studies requirement for engineers, even via petition. See also the CE Undergraduate Handbook.

3. Enroll in and pass HADM 3670, taught through the Nolan School

• ​The Engineering Communications Program does not control, monitor, or assess for these courses. This option does not also fulfill the Liberal Studies requirement, even via petition. See also the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook.

Engineering Distribution

The Common Curriculum requires three distribution courses (=>9 credits). One Introduction to Engineering course and two distribution courses.

Introduction to Engineering:

An introduction to engineering course (designated ENGRI) is expected to be completed by the end of a student’s first year. This course introduces students to the engineering process and provides a substantive experience in an open-ended problem-solving context.

Additional Information

Some majors may require completion of 9 specific engineering distribution courses for affiliation (acceptance into the major), or as a prerequisite for upper-class courses. For complete information, please see Affiliation with a Major and the flow charts for each major in the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook.

Note: Some majors require additional distribution courses after affiliation.

Liberal Studies Distribution

Global and diverse societies require that engineers have an awareness of historical patterns, an appreciation for different cultures, professional ethics, the ability to work in multifaceted groups, and superior communication skills. Cornell has a rich curriculum in the humanities, arts, and social sciences, enabling every engineering student to obtain a truly liberal education. The rationale for these distribution courses is discussed in the Requirements for Graduation section of the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook and these courses should be chosen with as much care and foresight as courses from technical areas.

Requirements:

• At least six courses (totaling at least 18 credits)
• The six courses must be chosen from the categories listed and come from at least three different groups outlined in the following section
• At least 3 or more credits must be chosen from Group 7
• No more than two courses may be chosen from Group 6 (CE)
• At least two courses must be at the 2000 level or higher

The categories outlined above have been organized into seven Groups based on common themes in content. Those Groups are as follows:

Group 1. Cultural Analysis, Literature and the Arts, Social Differences

• Cultural Analysis (CA)
• Literature and the Arts (LA)
• Literature, the Arts and Design (LAD)
• Arts, Literature, and Culture (ALC)
• Social Difference (SCD-HA only. SCD-AS not allowed in this group.)

Group 2. Historical Analysis

• Historical Analysis (HA/ HST)

Group 3. Ethics, Cognition, and Moral Reasoning

• Knowledge, Cognition, and Moral Reasoning (KCM)
• Ethics and the Mind (ETM)

Group 4. Social Science and Global Citizenship

• Social and Behavioral Analysis (SBA)
• Social Sciences (SSC)
• Global Citizenship (GLC)

Group 5. Foreign Languages (not literature courses) (FL)

• Courses teaching language skills, inclusive of reading, writing, listening, and spoken non-English languages, at beginning to advanced levels.

Group 6. Communications in Engineering (CE)

• Engineering specific courses exploring communication as a way of acting in the world
• Courses must be specifically designated by CCGB as satisfying the CE category (no petitions)
• No more than two courses from this category may be used to satisfy the liberal studies requirement
• To review (CE-EN) distribution requirement definition and course list, please visit the Duffield College of Engineering Distribution Requirement List section of this catalog

Group 7. Race and Equity

• Social Difference (SCD-AS only. SCD-HA not allowed in this group)
• Diversity (D-AG only. D-HE not allowed in this group)

Students should utilize the current Catalog as the master list of approved liberal studies courses. Refer to Cornell Engineering Advising's Liberal Studies Policies webpage for complete lists of additional approved courses and unacceptable courses. Please direct any questions to Engineering Advising, 180 Rhodes Hall.

Electives

• Advisor Approved electives: 6 credits required (approved by the faculty advisor¹). Courses must be =>1100 level to count toward the degree. Some courses =>1100 cannot count toward the degree such as MATH 1110 or MATH 1900 or CS 1109 since these are courses that are lower than where the degree requirements in the curriculum begin. Because these courses should help develop and broaden the skills of the engineer, faculty advisors generally accept the following as approved electives (as long as they are not being used elsewhere toward degree requirements):
  • One additional introduction-to-engineering course (ENGRI)
  • Engineering distribution courses
  • Courses stressing written or oral communication
  • Upper-level engineering courses
  • Advanced courses in mathematics
  • Rigorous courses in the biological and physical sciences
  • Courses in business, economics, or language (when they serve the student's educational and academic objectives)
  • Courses that expand the major or another part of the curriculum, including liberal studies electives not already being used toward the Liberal Studies Distribution requirement.
  • Up to 6 credits of approved electives may come from ROTC courses at the 3000-level or higher.
• Major-approved electives: 9 credits (approved by the major and faculty advisors in the major). Refer to the major curricula for descriptions of courses in this category.
• Electives outside the major: 9 credits of courses outside the major to ensure breadth of engineering studies; these courses may be subject to major specific requirements for appropriateness.

¹

In the event a student and their faculty advisor disagree regarding the suitability of an approved elective, the student may appeal the decision to the Director of Undergraduate Studies (Associate Director) for their major department or to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs.

First-Year Requirements

Students may major in biological engineering and environmental engineering through the College of Engineering or the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS). Students who do so through the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences are jointly administered by the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

Graduation Requirements for Engineering Minor Degree Programs

Requirements

Students may pursue minors in any department in any college that offers them, subject to limitations placed by the department offering the minor or by the students' major. Completed minors will appear on the student's transcript. Not all departments offer minors. Additional information on specific minors can be found above, in the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook, in the undergraduate major office of the department or school offering the minor, and in Engineering Advising.

An engineering minor recognizes formal study of a particular subject area in engineering normally outside the major. Students undertaking a minor are expected to complete the requirements during the time of their continuous undergraduate enrollment at Cornell. Completing the requirements for an engineering minor (along with a major) may require more than the traditional eight semesters at Cornell. However, courses that fulfill minor requirements may also satisfy other degree requirements (e.g., distribution courses, advisor-approved, or major-approved electives), and completion within eight semesters is possible.

An engineering minor requires:

• successful completion of all requirements for an undergraduate degree.
• enrollment in a major that approves participation in the minor.
• satisfactory completion of six courses (at least 18 credits) in a college-approved minor.

Students may apply for certification of a minor at any time after the required course work has been completed in accordance with published standards. An official notation of certification of a minor appears on the Cornell transcript following graduation.

Graduation Requirements for Master of Engineering Degree (M.Eng.) Programs

Requirements

The following are general requirements for graduation that apply to all Master of Engineering degrees offered on the Ithaca campus. The individual program pages provide additional information about discipline-specific requirements.

Credits and Residency Units

• Satisfactory completion of 30 technical credits, of which:
  • At least 21 credits must be earned at Cornell. (Some M.Eng. programs allow up to 9 transfer credits of letter-graded coursework completed outside of Cornell to be applied to the M.Eng. degree.)
  • At least 12 credit hours must be in coursework from the home M.Eng. program (as determined by the program).
  • A maximum of two credit hours graded on an S/U basis may be included.

Degree Programs

Degrees Offered

Cornell programs in engineering and applied science lead to the degrees of Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). A student can pursue a degree in one of 15 majors listed below. In addition, undergraduate students in engineering and across the university can pursue one or more Engineering minors. 

Professional Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degrees are offered in 14 different disciplines, 4 of which are also available in a distance learning (DL) mode. Within the general requirements framework for the M.Eng. degree, each program has a discipline-specific curriculum that is designed to meet the career interests of its students. Programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are administered by the Graduate School.

Undergraduate Majors

Undergraduate students in engineering spend most of their first two years in the Common Curriculum, which is administered by the College Curriculum Governing Board (CCGB). By the end of their fourth semester, students will affiliate with one of the majors given below. The majors BE, BME, ChemE, CE, ECE, EnvEng, MSE, and ME are accredited by ABET. 

Undergraduate Minors

Undergraduate students may pursue minors in a wide variety of areas offered by multiple colleges in the University. Completed minors will appear on the student's transcript. Not all departments offer minors and some may include specific limitations based on a student's major. Consult the list below or contact the appropriate department for information on a specific minor and how to pursue the minor.

Minors offered by Duffield Engineering are listed below and all require a minimum of six courses and 18 credits.

Distance Learning mode available 

Double Major in Engineering

The double-major option, which makes it possible to develop expertise in two allied engineering majors, generally requires at least one semester beyond the usual four years. Students affiliate with one major following normal procedures and then apply for a second major after completing at least one full semester in the first major and before the first day of classes of their final senior semester. All requirements of both majors must be satisfied. Further information is available from Engineering Advising, 180 Rhodes Hall, and the individual major offices.

Policies and Procedures

Academic Progress

The total number of credits required for graduation vary depending on the major. An average semester credit load ranges from 15 to 17 credits.

Because math is pivotal to the study and practice of engineering, students must earn at least C– in their four required math courses. If at least C– is not attained, the course must be repeated immediately. Failure to achieve at least C– the second time will result in, at minimum, a required leave of absence for one semester from Duffield Engineering. Physics and advanced math courses often have math prerequisites, and having to repeat the prerequisite course may delay progress in the physics and math curricula.

Academic Standing

Undergraduate students are expected to remain in good academic standing. The criteria for good standing change somewhat as a student progresses through the four years of the engineering curriculum. At all times, the student must be making adequate progress toward a degree, but what this means depends on the major.

Duffield Engineering students who are affiliated with a major must follow the good standing criteria of that major. Students not yet affiliated with a major must meet the following listed standards at the end of each semester to be considered in good academic standing. Failure to meet these standards will result in a review by the Committee on Academic Standards, Petitions, and Credit (CASPAC), and the actions of Alert, Warning, Required Leave of Absence, or Withdrawal from the College of Engineering may be taken.

• At least 12 credits passed (phys. ed. courses and courses below the 1100 level—except ENGRG 1050 Engineering Seminar, Academic Excellence Workshops, and other supplemental academic support courses—do not count).
• At least a C- in required mathematics courses. Students are expected to continue the sequence of core engineering math courses each semester until completed.
• At least two courses (≥ 3 credits each) completed in required common curricular mathematics, science and engineering (project teams, research, independent study, ENGRG courses not included).
• At least one ENGRD course completed by the end of the third semester with a grade of at least a C-
• No more than one grade below a C each semester in required mathematics, science and engineering courses
• Semester GPA ≥ 2.0
• Cumulative GPA ≥ 2.0
• No F, U, or UX grades

Advanced Placement Credit

Advanced Placement at Cornell includes more than just College Board AP. Students may become eligible for advanced placement credit in four ways:

• By taking a College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) examination;
• By successfully completing a General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced (A-Level) examination and/or a Cambridge Pre-University Principal Subject;
• By successfully completing an International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level examination;
• By successfully completing French Baccalaureate;
• By taking a departmental Cornell Advanced Standing Exam (CASE), typically given prior to the beginning of the fall and spring terms.

If a student’s performance on one of these exams is satisfactory, college credit will be offered.

Acceptable Subjects and Scores for CEEB or CASE AP Exams

The most common subjects for which AP credit is awarded in the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering, and the scores needed on qualifying tests, are listed below. AP credit is awarded only for courses that meet engineering curriculum requirements.

Mathematics: MATH 1910, MATH 1920 are required.

First-semester math (MATH 1910). AP credit may be earned by:

• a score of 5 on the CEEB BC exam
• a passing score on the CASE exam for MATH 1910.

First-year math (MATH 1920). AP credit may be earned by:

• a passing score on the CASE exam for MATH 1920.

Physics: PHYS 1112, PHYS 1110, and PHYS 2213 are required.

PHYS 1112 Physics I: Mechanics and Heat. AP credit may be earned by:

• a score of 5 on the Mechanics portion of the CEEB AP C exam, or
• a passing score on the CASE for PHYS 1112 Physics I: Mechanics and Heat.

PHYS 2213. AP credit may be earned by:

• a score of 5 on the Electricity & Magnetism portion of the CEEB AP C exam, or
• a passing score on the CASE for PHYS 2213.

PHYS 1110. There is no AP credit awarded.

PHYS 1116 PHYS 2217, and PHYS 2218 (honors sequence). This sequence is designed for students with strong experience in physics and calculus, e.g., a 5 on one or both Physics C AP tests and the equivalent of at least one semester of university calculus. Students interested in PHYS 2217 or PHYS 2218 are strongly advised to start with PHYS 1116. Even for a student with a 5 on both Physics C AP tests, PHYS 1116 will not be boring. Students may not simultaneously receive credit for PHYS 1116 and AP credit for PHYS 1112, or credit for PHYS 2217 and AP credit for PHYS 2213.

Chemistry: CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 are required. 

CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 AP credits may be earned by:

• a score of 5 on the CEEB AP exam, or
• a passing score on the CASE for CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091.

Note: Students who obtain AP credit for CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 and who are considering a major in chemical engineering should consider enrolling in CHEM 2150. Those who obtain AP credit for CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 and then successfully complete CHEM 2150 will earn 8 credits of Chemistry for the CHEM 2090 and CHEM 2091 AND CHEM 2080 and CHEM 2081 sequence. Students are encouraged to discuss this option with their faculty advisor.

Computing: CS 1110 or CS 1112 are required. AP credit may be earned for CS 1110 by:

• a score of 5 on the CEEB A exam, or
• a passing score on the CASE for CS 1110.

Biology: Biology is not required as part of the core curriculum, although it is required for several majors and is a popular elective, especially for students who intend to pursue health-related careers. AP credit may be earned as follows:

• 8 credits will be offered to students who receive a 5 on the CEEB AP exam;
• 4 credits will be offered to students who receive a 4 on the CEEB AP

Those who want to study more biology should contact the Office of Undergraduate Biology, 200 Stimson Hall, to discuss proper placement.

First-year writing seminar: Two first-year writing seminars are required.

• AP credit for one first-year writing seminar may be earned by a score of 5 on either of the CEEB AP English exams.

Students who earn a score of 4 on the AP English Literature and Composition exam or the AP English Language and Composition exam* will be offered 3 credits, which may be applied toward the Literature and Arts (LA) category of the Liberal Studies distribution requirement.

Liberal studies distribution: Six courses beyond two first-year writing seminars are required. Students may earn AP credit toward the liberal studies distribution by taking CEEB AP tests. AP credit earned in the liberal studies distribution cannot be used to fulfill the "upper-level" liberal studies requirements.

Languages: Students may earn AP credit for competence in a foreign language by taking the CEEB AP test or by taking the CASE, depending on the particular foreign language. Those who score 4 or 5 on the CEEB AP test in Spanish, French, and Italian are entitled to 3 credits. To qualify for the CASE exam (in any language), the student must score at least 65 on a college placement test (taken either in high school or at Cornell during Orientation Week). A passing score on the CASE entitles the student to 3 credits. Language credit, earned via AP or CASE, may be used to satisfy part of the liberal studies distribution in the foreign language category, or may meet an approved elective requirement, contingent on discussions with the faculty advisor.

Advanced Placement and Credit for International Credentials

Students who have successfully completed either a General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced ("A") Level Examination, or an International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level Examination, or a Cambridge Pre-U Principal Subject Examination may be eligible for advanced placement credit in the College of Engineering as follows:

General Certificate of Education Advanced Level Examination (GCE "A")

Hong Kong Advanced Level examinations and the joint examination for the Higher School Certificate and Advanced Level Certificate of Education in Malaysia and Singapore—principal passes only—are considered equivalent in standard to GCE "A" Levels. For Cambridge Pre-U Examination credit awards see the main university Advanced Placement section.

Note: Advanced placement credit based on GCE or IB results may also be awarded for courses that satisfy the liberal studies requirement in the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering. In such cases, the Duffield Engineering follows the AP guidelines found earlier in this publication under "Advanced Placement."

General Policies for Advanced Placement

The general policies in Duffield Engineering governing awards of AP credit are as follows:

1. For students who matriculate to Cornell as first-year students, there is no maximum limit to the amount of advanced placement credit that can be used towards an engineering degree, however, students who matriculate to Cornell as external transfer students are limited to earning 66 credits of all outside credit, including CEEB, IB, GCE, French Baccalaureate, and CASE credit. Only credit for acceptable scores will be given.
2. AP credit will not be offered in any subject area without a documented examination.
3. All AP examinations are normally taken and scored before fall-semester classes begin. Students who take CEEB AP tests in high school should have an official report of their scores sent directly to Cornell as soon as possible. Students who have completed either GCE A-Level, IB Higher Level, French Baccalaureate, or Cambridge Pre-U Examinations must present the original or a certified copy of their examination certificate to the Engineering Registrar's Office, 170 Rhodes Hall. Those who wish to take CASE examinations should do so during Orientation week.

For more information on the college's policies regarding advanced placement credit and its use in developing undergraduate programs refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook.

Class Rank

The Duffield Engineering does not compute class rank.

Employment Related

Academic Credit for Employment

Duffield Engineering does not award academic credit for employment, including internships and co-operative education experiences. Therefore, Duffield Engineering is unable to certify any employer documents which state that Duffield Engineering will award academic credit for a work experience. A student may arrange to do an independent study for credit, based on an engineering-related work experience, with a faculty member during the semester following the work experience. It is the student's responsibility to arrange the independent study with a faculty member and to register for the independent study credit. Alternatively, a student may follow the steps outlined for Curricular Practical Training on the Engineering Registrar website.

Employment as a Degree Requirement

Duffield Engineering does not require an internship and/or co-op for degree completion.

Experiential Learning Agreements 

Faculty, staff, students, and experiential learning providers should refer to Cornell Career Services for information on experiential learning agreements.

U.S. Work Authorization

International students requiring Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Curricular Practical Training (CPT) should confer with the Office of Global Learning.

Verification of Student Status for Employment

Students may obtain verification of enrollment from the Registrar by completing a request for Release of Information.

General Policies for Transfer Credit

For information about how transfer credit is defined, reviewed and accepted by the university, please refer to University Transfer Credit Policy. 

• For specific information regarding transferring credit into Duffield Engineering and to learn more about the application process, please visit the Engineering Registrar’s website. A Transfer Credit Application Form (one form for each request), accompanied by a course syllabus, is required and should be submitted before enrollment in the course to be transferred. An official transcript from the offering institution (bearing the institutional seal and Registrar's signature) must be sent to the Engineering Registrar's office before official transfer credit will be awarded.
• Applications for transfer credit to satisfy requirements in math, science, engineering courses, or first-year writing seminars require approval from the department offering an equivalent course at Cornell. The department may require course materials, textbooks used, etc., in addition to the course syllabus before approving the course.
• Cornell does not award credit for courses in which a student has earned a grade less than C; departments may stipulate a higher minimum grade.
• Grades for courses taken at other institutions do not appear on the official Cornell transcript and are not included in the Cornell cumulative GPA.
• Transfer credit will not be awarded for courses taken during a fall or spring semester in which a student is enrolled at Cornell in a degree program.
• College courses completed under the auspices of cooperative college and high school programs will be considered for advanced placement credit only if students demonstrate academic proficiency by taking the appropriate AP or Cornell Advanced Standing Examination (CASE), as described in the "Advanced Credit" section above.
• For students who matriculate to Cornell as first-year students, a maximum of 18 transfer credits may count towards your engineering degree requirements at Cornell (this does not include advanced placement credit). Any coursework taken while in high school, and/or before matriculation, is included in this 18-credit limit. (Credit for summer and winter session courses taken at Cornell are not considered transfer credit, nor do they count toward the 18-credit maximum.)
• For students who matriculate to Cornell as external transfer students, a maximum of 66 transfer credits may count towards your engineering degree requirements at Cornell. In this case, however, advanced placement credits are counted toward the 66 allowable credits. External transfer students must complete at least 60 credits at Cornell.

For more information on the college's policies regarding transfer credit and its use in developing undergraduate programs refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Handbook.

Transfer Credit for External Transfer Students

External transfer students may transfer up to 33 credits for each year spent in full-time study at another institution, provided that the courses are acceptable for meeting graduation requirements. No more than 66 total transfer credits (combination of those taken both before and after matriculation, and including advanced placement credits) may be used to meet graduation requirements. External transfer students must complete at least 60 credits at Cornell.

Grades

Grades are granted under the authority of each course instructor. Please refer to the Cornell University Faculty Handbook for additional information.

S/U Grades

Many courses may be taken either for a letter grade or for an S/U (satisfactory or unsatisfactory) grade designation. Under the S/U option, students earning the letter grade equivalent of at least C– in a course will receive a grade of S; those earning less than C– receive U. A course in which a U grade is received does not count toward graduation requirements.

Duffield Engineering students may choose to receive an S/U grade option under the following conditions:

• The course in question must be offered in the official Cornell class roster with an S/U option.
• The student must previously have completed at least one full semester of study at Cornell. First-year students may not take any courses on an S/U basis during their first semester except for courses that are graded S/U only.
• In the Duffield Engineering Common Curriculum, S/U courses must count either as a liberal studies distribution or as an advisor approved elective, but may not also fulfill the engineering communications requirement if taken with the S/U option.
• Unless explicitly permitted by the major program, all technical courses and electives within the major curriculum are not allowed to be taken as S/U. Please refer to the appropriate major department for more information.
• No more than 15 S/U optional credits will count toward a student's degree requirements. However, a student may take more than one S/U course in any one semester. If a course is offered "S/U only", it will not count toward the 15-credit limit (this includes AP and transfer credit). Additionally, any course not being applied towards official degree requirements will not count toward the 15-credit limit.

The choice of grading option for any course is made initially during the pre-enrollment period and may be changed until the end of University drop deadline. After this deadline, the grading option may not be changed, nor will a student be permitted to add a course in which they were previously enrolled (in the current semester) under a different grade option. (Grading options may be changed online for most courses. A properly completed add/drop form must be used to change a grade option for a permission-only course.)

Incomplete Grades

Incomplete grades are granted entirely at the discretion of the course instructor. If a student believes an incomplete is appropriate they must discuss it with the instructor and make specific arrangements under which the missing work is to be completed within a defined time frame. Generally deadlines are one-year, but instructors may require shorter deadlines, and may, at their own discretion, extend the deadline. All incomplete grades should be cleared before graduation.

To receive an incomplete, students must:

• Have an extenuating reason that prevents them from completing the course in the time allotted
• Have passing equity in the course at the time of the request. (This is generally defined as completion of at least half the course work at a passing level.)

Grade Changes

Each semester's work is an entity, and grades are assigned for work completed during the official semester period. Grade changes after the end of the final exam period may be made only in the event of a calculation error on the part of the instructor. Grades changes based on additional work submitted by a student will not be accepted. Upon graduation all courses and grades on a student's transcript are frozen and cannot be altered.

Graduate Students, M.Eng. program

Graduate students enrolled in an M.Eng. program should refer to: Master of Engineering Academic Procedures and Policies.

Graduating With Latin Degree Honors

Meritorious students graduating with a B.S. degree from the Duffield Engineering may also receive degrees designated as cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude. Beginning with the December 2026 conferral date, Cornell University will institute a standardized Latin Honors system based solely on final cumulative undergraduate GPA. The Latin Honors categories include:

Summa Cum Laude (top 5%),
Magna Cum Laude (next 10%), and
Cum Laude (next 15%).

The cumulative undergraduate GPA at the time of degree conferral will be reviewed in a respective College or School degree. See Graduation and Academic Honors for more information.

Honors Program Within Majors

Many of the engineering majors supplement the major with an honors program.

Eligibility

The Bachelor of Science degree with honors is granted to engineering students who, in addition to having completed the requirements for a B.S. degree in a major, satisfactorily complete the honors program in the major and are recommended for the degree by the honors committee of that major. To enter an honors program, the student must be on track to graduate with distinction, and a student who does not stay on track to graduate with distinction is will be dropped from the honors program.

At least 9 extra credit hours are required for the honors degree, and a student must be in the program for at least two semesters before graduation. Courses taken to satisfy the honors requirement may not be used to satisfy any other B.S. degree requirements.

No research, independent study, or teaching for which the student is paid may be counted toward the honors program.

Procedures

An applicant to the honors program in a major must have an honors advisor: a faculty member from that major who will supervise the honors program and direct any research or project. The honors advisor need not be the student's advisor in the major.

The application for the honors program should be a letter from the student that describes the proposed honors program in detail and includes the explicit approval of the honors advisor.

Students must complete a written application no later than the beginning of the first semester of their senior year, but they are encouraged to make arrangements with the honors advisor during the second semester of their junior year. Each major may place further constraints on timing.

Major-Specific Information

Each major defines the content of the honors program and may also place other requirements on the program, in terms of timing, content, and procedures. Information is given within the description of the individual majors.

Leaves of Absence

There are three types of leaves of absence for students in the Duffield Engineering: voluntary leave of absence, health leave of absence, and required leave of absence.

Students on any type of leave of absence are not permitted to enroll in courses at Cornell during their leave. Students may take courses at other institutions while on a leave.  In order to satisfy Cornell degree requirements, courses taken at another institution must be approved in advance and taken as a non-degree seeking student. Credit for courses completed at foreign institutions during a leave of absence will not be accepted for transfer credit unless students are returning to their countries of permanent residence during their leave of absence. A maximum of 18 transfer credits may be used to meet degree requirements after matriculation.

Students who are considering taking a voluntary or health leave, as well as those who are placed on a required leave of absence, should check with the Bursar's Office, Office of Financial Aid, Housing and Residential Services, Student Employment, Student Health Plan, International Student Services, and Athletics to find out about financial and other implications. Please note, the change in enrollment status may have implications for financial aid, billing, student health benefits, and international student Visa status. It is particularly important for students who have educational loans to contact the Office of Financial Aid. Eligibility for medical or auto insurance may also be affected during a student's leave of absence.

Students who are granted a voluntary or health leave of absence during a semester are responsible for any outstanding tuition or other university charges owed through the date of the leave of absence. On-campus housing and dining charges may accrue until the student no longer utilizes the services, regardless of the official leave date.

Voluntary Leave of Absence (VLOA)

Students who desire to suspend their studies for a period of time may request a voluntary leave by submitting an online request form through the Engineering Registrar. Voluntary leaves are granted for no less than one full semester and no greater than two years. Students who do not return to active status by the two-year mark will be withdrawn from Duffield Engineering. In extenuating circumstances, students may petition to return sooner than the minimum one full semester voluntary leave of absence timeframe, or extend their leave of absence past the two-year timeframe. A student may request to take a voluntary leave of absence for an in-term semester or for a future semester.

Students who request a voluntary leave of absence for an in-term semester by the university "drop without a W" deadline will have the current semester's courses dropped, unless the official course end date was prior to the drop deadline and a grade has been posted to the record. In this scenario, the grade would stand. Voluntary leaves requested for an in-term semester after the "drop without a W" deadline and by the last day of the term will result in "W"'s on a student's transcript for enrolled courses, unless the official course end date was prior to the drop deadline and a grade has been posted to the record. In this scenario, the grade would stand. Partial term classes (e.g., seven week-first) in which the course has ended prior to the leave date will remain on the transcript with the grade awarded. A voluntary leave of absence granted for an in-term semester will be effective on the date the online request form is received by the Engineering Registrar's Office.

Students who are not issued a required leave of absence or required withdrawal at the conclusion of a semester may request to take a voluntary leave of absence for a future semester, prior to the start of that semester. Leaves requested for a future semester will be effective on the day after the end of the last term attended.

Health Leave of Absence (HLOA)

Students sometimes benefit from taking a leave of absence to address physical or mental health issues. For an in-term semester, a student may apply to take a health leave of absence up until the last day of the term. The health leave of absence process i initiated by a student with the Health Leaves Coordinator. Clinicians assess the student and if deemed appropriate will recommend a health leave of absence to the college. The College may include academic conditions for the leave, in addition to any conditions set forth by the Health Leaves Coordinator. The College evaluates the recommendation and grants the health leave of absence. A health leave of absence granted for an in-term semester will be effective on the date stated in the letter from the Health Leaves Coordinator. A health leave of absence for a future term will be effective on the day after the end of the last term attended.

A health leave of absence that is granted between semesters or an in-term health leave of absence that is granted between the first day of class and the university "drop without a W" deadline will result in the upcoming or current semester's courses being dropped, unless the official course end date was prior to the drop deadline and a grade has been posted to the record. In this scenario, the grade would stand. If a health leave is granted for an in- term semester after the "drop without a W" deadline, and by the last day of the term, it will result in W's on a student's transcript for the enrolled courses, unless the official course end date was prior to the drop deadline and a grade has been posted to the record. In this scenario, the grade would stand. Partial term classes (e.g., seven week- first) in which the course has ended prior to the leave date will remain on the transcript with the grade awarded.

Health leaves are granted for no greater than two years. Students who do not return to active status by the two-year mark will be withdrawn from the College of Engineering. In extenuating circumstances, students may petition to extend their leave of absence past the two-year timeframe.

Required Leave of Absence (RLOA)

At the end of each semester, the academic records of all students are reviewed. Unaffiliated students' grades are reviewed by the faculty Committee on Academic Standards, Petitions, and Credit (CASPAC) and affiliated students' grades are reviewed by their Major department. Students who do not meet the requirements for good standing may be issued a required leave of absence. (RLOA's are issued for no less than one semester and take precedence over voluntary leaves and health leaves unless petitioned through CASPAC or the major department.) A required leave of absence will be effective on the day after the end of the last term attended. Required leaves are granted for no greater than two years. Students who do not return to active status by the two-year mark will be withdrawn from Duffield Engineering. In extenuating circumstances, students may petition to extend their leave of absence past the two-year timeframe.

Rejoining the College

Students who wish to rejoin the college after either a voluntary or required leave of absence must notify the college prior to the rejoin deadlines. Students will be required to complete a college Request to Rejoin Form. If no conditions were imposed at the time of the leave, permission to rejoin will be granted. Students who were given conditions to meet while on leave will be granted permission to rejoin once evidence has been presented that all conditions have been met. Students who are rejoined will receive written confirmation and be reactivated on the university student system.

Students who wish to rejoin the college after a health leave of absence must first contact the Health Leaves Coordinator at mailto:healthleaves@cornell.edu prior to them rejoin deadlines to seek an approval to be rejoined. Duffield Engineering cannot approve a rejoin from a health leave without the Health Leave Coordinator’s approval of the return. Once the Health Leaves Coordinator approves of a student’s fitness to return from the health leave, the student must then notify Duffield Engineering prior to the rejoin deadlines below. If no academic conditions were imposed at the time of the health leave, permission to rejoin will be granted. Students who were given academic conditions to meet while on the health leave will be granted permission to rejoin once evidence has been presented that all conditions have been met. Students who are rejoined will receive written confirmation and be reactivated on the university student system.

For additional advising and guidance, contact:

• Unaffiliated B.S. students: Engineering Advising Office
• Affiliated B.S. students: department major Undergraduate Coordinator
• M.Eng. students: department Major Coordinator/Graduate Field Assistant

If returning from a Health Leave of Absence, documentation of fitness to return must be received first by the Health Leaves Coordinator by their timeline for return in order for us to approve the rejoin.

Registration and Course Enrollment

Please refer to Enrollment, Credit and Requirements for university policies and procedures. Dates and Deadlines, Forms, and Common Enrollment Issues specific to Duffield Engineering are published on the Engineering Registrar website. 

Undergraduate Credit Limit Policy

Duffield Engineering undergraduates are limited to enroll in a maximum 20 credits in one semester. In some limited circumstances (e.g., their schedule includes AEWs or PE courses), students may be approved to enroll in up to 24 credits. Instances that will not be approved include:

• A student in their first year or first semester as an external transfer student
• A student attempting to enroll for two or more of any combination of project teams, research credit, or TA credit
• The previous semester's GPA was below a 2.0

Taking 20 credits is on average equivalent to 60 hours of work per week. Taking more than 20 credits in a single semester is not recommended, even for students who have a history of strong academic performance. Under no circumstance will a student be approved to enroll in more than 24 credits. Once approved for and enrolled in either a time conflict or over 20 credits for a semester, students will be unable to make any enrollment changes themselves in Student Center. This means that students cannot add or drop any courses, change credit hours, or change grade options. A student would need to petition for any enrollment changes in that semester.

Research Credit and Pay

Students who conduct research in the college may have the opportunity to receive academic credit or pay for their efforts. Students should consult with their faculty advisor and research mentor to decide which option is available to them and best for their educational goals and for the project. If receiving academic credit, students should contact the department's undergraduate coordinator for additional information. Those who receive credit for research may not receive pay for the same work effort on the project.

Time to Degree

Students must complete all graduation requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree from Duffield Engineering within eight calendar years of a student's initial matriculation in the undergraduate program. Failure to complete requirements within this time period will be deemed unsatisfactory performance and will result in withdrawal from Duffield Engineering. In addition, requirements for graduation may be updated if the degree is not completed within five calendar years.

For all students on leave, responsibility for maintaining eligibility to return rests with the student. A student who has been withdrawn may request to rejoin. The majors (or the College if unaffiliated) will determine which credits previously taken will count toward degree requirements.

Transferring Within Cornell

It is not uncommon for students to change their academic or career goals after matriculation in one college and decide that their needs would be better met in another college at Cornell. While transfer between colleges is not guaranteed, efforts are made to assist students in this situation.

Students who wish to transfer out of Duffield Engineering to another college at Cornell should consult initially with Engineering Advising.

Students who wish to transfer into Duffield Engineering should also consult initially with Engineering Advising. Students apply in the semester in which they are completing affiliation criteria for the desired major. Transfer students who would enter the college must be accepted by a major as part of the admission process.

Students who wish to transfer into engineering should take courses in math, chemistry, computer science, physics, and engineering that conform to the requirements of the Common Curriculum. Students should discuss their eligibility with an advisor in Engineering Advising, 180 Rhodes Hall.

Withdrawal From the College

A withdrawal from Duffield Engineering may be voluntary or required. Following is a description of each:

Voluntary Withdrawal

Students who voluntarily withdraw from the college sever all connection with the college. Unaffiliated and affiliated students who wish to withdraw should first meet with Engineering Advising (unaffiliated) or their major department (affiliated). To officially withdraw, students submit an online request form through the Engineering Registrar's Office. A student may request to withdraw from an in-term semester or for a future semester. 

A student who fails to register in the first three weeks of the semester, without benefit of a leave of absence or permission for study in absentia, will be deemed to have withdrawn.

Students who withdraw from Duffield Engineering are eligible to apply for admission to one of the other six colleges at Cornell and should follow their respective procedures for applying.

During the semester, a student may request a voluntary withdrawal up until the last day of the term. A withdrawal that is granted during a semester goes into effect on the day it is requested. If a withdrawal is requested before the University drop deadline, the courses are dropped, unless the official course end date was prior to the "drop without a W" deadline and a grade has been posted to the record. In this scenario, the grade would stand. If a withdrawal is requested after the University drop deadline and by the last day of the term, the courses in which the student was registered at the time of the request are treated as having been withdrawn (i.e., a "W" will appear on the transcript for each course), unless the official course end date was prior to the drop deadline and a grade has been posted to the record. In this scenario, the grade would stand. Students are responsible for any outstanding tuition or other university charges owed through that date. On-campus housing and dining charges may accrue until the student no longer utilizes the services.

A student who has withdrawn and subsequently wishes to return must make a formal request to do so. This is rarely granted. It is subject to a review of the student's academic background and depends on available space in the college and in the student's major.

Required Withdrawal

Students are required to withdraw from the college only when their overall record indicates that they are either incapable of completing the program or not sufficiently motivated to do so. This action withdraws them only from Duffield Engineering and does not, in and of itself, adversely affect their ability to apply and complete a degree in one of the other colleges in the university. Required withdrawals take precedence over voluntary withdrawals.
