<p>The CU CALS website says the following...
*Students are expected to complete the physical education requirement in their first two semesters at
Cornell.
*Freshmen may not enroll in more than 18 credits, not including PE or review/supplemental courses and
are limited to one S-U optional course per semester. </p>

<p>I want to take a 1 credit pass/fail course (IARD 6960 Perspectives in International Development) in addition to taking a P.E. class... Do P.E. classes count as pass/fail courses/disqualify freshmen from taking additional pass/fail courses? Or can I take a P.E. + IARD 6960 at the same time? </p>

<p>My kid was a sophomore last fall, she took one 3 credit course P/F and PE. The way I am reading it is PE is outside of any consideration, and you are only allowed to take one PF optional course per semester. Yes, you could take a PE and one PF course per semester.</p>

<p>PE doesn’t usually count on the credit limit. But you can also petition to go above the credit limit, if you are really serious at taking more courses.</p>

<p>You can take both. PE is not pass fail optional, so you’re all set</p>
