<p>Does Cornell have a "shopping period" during the first week of school where students get to attend any class they want before finalizing their courses?</p>
<p>we dont call it shopping period...but you have longer to drop a course than to add it...</p>
<p>meaning if you added 21 credits at course enrollment you could drop down to 16...</p>
<p>but if you started with 12 credits there's only soo long to add classes...</p>
<p>cornell has a decent pre-enrollment period so most people know what classes they want to take...the problems come when a class is full but you want it so you attend until you get told NO MORE ROOM...</p>
<p>classes usually pick up on the 2nd lecture day so it is not advised for one to "shop around" too long...else face having to catch up TONS</p>
