Cornell University’s Precollege Courses for Commuting Students Recently Updated

Are you able to commute to Cornell's campus in Ithaca, NY?  If so, take an on-campus course this summer, fall, and/or spring. This is an unparalleled opportunity to study in person with Cornell faculty, challenge yourself with a college-level class, enhance your college application, and earn college credits, all while living at home or in a rental with your parent/guardian.

The grades and credits you earn as a commuter will be recorded on an official Cornell transcript and are generally transferable toward a degree at Cornell or elsewhere.

You may request permission to enroll in courses at the 1,000 or 2,000 level as long as you meet the prerequisites. (Precollege students are not eligible for courses at the 3,000 level or above.)

Our programs offer you the rare opportunity to work closely with some of Cornell's most distinguished instructors. Under their guidance, you'll develop the critical thinking and writing skills essential for success in college.
