<p>What is the process for transferring to a different college within Cornell? For example, if I am accepted to the CALS and decide after a year that its not what I want to do with my life, how would I proceed to transfer to the CAS or any other college within Cornell University?</p>
<p>I think they have a department or something that works for internal transfers. There's not that many especially to the most popular CAS. Its easy to transfer out of CAS but hard to transfer in. </p>
<p>Here's the link to internal transfers at Cornell:

<p>um, ppl that actually attend cornell should be the ones that talk about it being hard or not. From what i have heard, it is relatively easy. The lady I spoke with said that she doesn't know one person that tried to transfer into CAS that didn't make it. All you need is above a 3.0, and you are pretty much in. It is not a big deal at all. If you get sponsorship in the internal transfer unit, 95 percent of the ppl in the intenral transfer unit successfully transfer into CAS.</p>
<p>directly, from the link provided by Wharf.</p>
<p>Transfer Through ITD
To apply for transfer through ITD, candidates must interview with the division's director and submit an essay to the ITD office, outlining their reasons for wanting to transfer. They must also fulfill the application requirements (e.g. interviews, essays) of their target college, as though they were applying for direct transfer. In many cases, colleges formally sponsor students in ITD and essentially guarantee admission if students successfully complete the requirements (taking particular courses, earning a specified grade point average while enrolled in ITD) that are outlined in their letter of sponsorship. Students can apply simultaneously for direct transfer and to ITD so that if direct transfer is denied, they might be offered the option of sponsorship in ITD. More than 95 percent of ITD students transfer successfully.</p>
<p>ITD transfers are fairly straightforward. It's not like applying to college all over again. If you need to be in another college at cornell, you will be able to get in there. If it's just a whim, that might be harder. CAS is the easiest to do IT into, not the hardest. The hardest would probably be architecture.</p>
<p>So lets say u applied for cals and got in as a transfer student, would you be able to transfer into cas or coe, etc. before you actually start taking courses at Cornell?</p>
<p>NO, you must spend at least a semester in your current college. There is a 4 semester residency requirement w. Arts/Sciences. Therefore, if you apply as a transfer student, especially for jr transfers, this might make you stay for an extra year at cornell.</p>
