All of the following conditions must be met in order for a student to be considered for prorated tuition:

1. The prorated semester is the 9th and final semester of study.
2. The student is in good academic standing with the college and the major.
3. Maximum of 11 credit hours of coursework are allowed under prorated tuition. Students cannot exceed the number of credits approved or full tuition will be charged, and no refund will be allowed if fewer credits than applied for are taken.
4. Approval of the student's faculty advisor, the College Registrar, and the University Registrar is required for all requests. Note that approval is conditional until grades are finalized at the end of the semester immediately preceding the prorated semester. Should those grades indicate that more than the requested number of prorated tuition credits are required for graduation, prorated tuition will be adjusted appropriately.
5. Students applying to be prorated in the Fall semester are encouraged to submit the application by May 1st. The final deadline is June 1st. Students applying to be prorated in the Spring semester are encouraged to submit the application by December 1st. The final deadline is January 1st. Please be advised that prorated tuition may impact the student’s financial aid, student loans, scholarships, non-Cornell health insurance programs, athletic eligibility, or other considerations. It is the responsibility of the student to resolve and rectify these situations prior to submitting this petition.
