<p>2) I believe HE allows 15 AP credits. I was looking at it the other day and think that's the right number</p>

<p>i'm not in HumEc, but i'll give the Q's a shot from what i know already...</p>

<p>1) Is there a limit on the number of course that can be taken outside of HumEc at either endowed colleges, other contract colleges, or graduate faculties?</p>

<p>There is, but it's usually a nice limit. In ILR, the limit is over 50 credits and I doubt HumEc would be significantly less. </p>

<p>2) What is the college's policy on AP credits?</p>

<p>that, i dont know.</p>

<p>3) Is there a limit on the number of credits that can be earned through study abroad programs or semesters outside of Cornell?</p>

<p>usually. Even transfers can't bring in more than 60 credits. You'll have to talk to somebody dirrectly in HumEc to figure out the exact policy though. </p>

<p>4) How does the winter session work?</p>

<p>Winter session classes that are taught 4 or 5 days a week for a few hours at a time. It's the same in-class time as the regular semester classes, just over a much shorter time period. I wouldn't take more than 1 (2 may be possible) class over winter break. Just think of regular classes in concentrated form.</p>

<p>cool thanks... do winter or summer session courses cost more?</p>

<p>i believe they're still the same cost per credit hour</p>

<p>human ecology no longer has a max 21 free endowed credits - you can take as many credits in any college and you will never be charged...ever. However, you do need 40 credits within HE to graduate, 30 within your major and 9 outside your major/inside HE.</p>
