Quick Cornell Overload Question!

<p>As an incoming ILR student, if I were to enroll in over 18 credits, how much extra would I have to pay in tuition per credit, if anything?</p>

<p>um nothing lol…</p>

<p>18 is seen as the reasonable load. if you’re a freshman i recommend sticking to under 18…</p>

<p>ILR = i love reading</p>

<p>does Cornell have anything like overloads?</p>

<p>I’ve never heard of it.</p>

<p>I think that if you go over your number of non-Endowed credits in CAS you have to pay per credit hour, but that’s all I know of.</p>

<p>does ILR even have a non endowed credit limit, I thought that was just cals, I know hum ec doesn’t.</p>

<p>Anyway if you want go over the amount of credits you’re allowed to take in one semester, which I think varies from college to college and depending on academic standing you just have to petition your dean to allow you to take more, which IIRC they usually allow, not really sure though. However 18 isn’t over any limit.</p>

<p>What exactly is the ILR endowed credit limit? If you are out of state and paying full tuition is this still imposed?</p>

<p>I don’t think ILR has one, not positive though</p>

<p>I don’t understand why you would want to take 18 credits as an ILRie. You need 120 credits to graduate from ILR, so that is on average 15 credits each semester. As a first semester freshman in ILR I’d recommend taking between 12-16 credits. 18 credits is about 6 classes which may be too much your first semester. ILR is so lax with courses in other schools that count for ILR credits. They have an entire list, so you can take these non-ILR classes and still get ILR credits. Also, there is no limit on the amount of non-ILR classes you can take.</p>

<p>You can petition to take more than 18 credits… but I don’t see why anyone in ILR would ever need to do that.</p>

<p>Yeah taking >18 is pointless unless you want to graduate early, but still I do not think it is worth it. Will sacrifice personal time for studying if you go overboard. All the people I know taking 20+ credits are rarely ever seen or heard from (and when they do appear, they usually seem miserable and stressed out).</p>
