<p>In Arts and Sciences, one of the reqs for graduation is that 100 of our 120 credits must be taken in the College of Arts and Science at Cornell. Pretty clear rule.</p>
<p>However, a friend I know who external transferred into CAS (very hard) with junior status has this to say: 'Yes, but I only have to take 60 credits because they gave me 60 transfer credits and counted 40 of them equivalent to Cornell CAS'</p>
<p>Is this true/possible? Thanks.</p>
<p>It's clearly both true and possible if it actually happened. Which it did, apparently. It makes sense anyway.</p>
<p>But it says 100 have to be TAKEN IN THE COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES AT CORNELL- it doesn't really o.k. arts and science courses taken at another university.. Okay so you still think so? thanks.</p>
<p>obviously taht rule doesnt cover the possibility of people transferring in, just people already at the school. you really think they force somebody to take their whole freshman/sophomore years over to meet that requirement?</p>
<p>^I'm not sure if this is what you mean but there's a seperate page that covers exceptions for transfer students. The 100 point rule is included as STILL STANDING.
I know it stands-the question is whether CAS-like courses taken elsewhere can be considered as equivalent and "bypass" that statement.</p>
<p>For example I know that if an engineer from UMich transferred to Cornell A&S, he would definitely not have CAS-like transfer credit and that rule would DEFINITELY stand in full.</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
