<p>I'm trying to think of things to do for the summer. I thought of taking courses at a community college since some courses are interesting and are a reasonable price. Can credits be transferred to Cornell? If yes, where can I check?</p>
<p>It depends. In most cases, you’ll need to seek approval of your college and/or the department chair. Some dept. chairs are sticklers about CC credits.</p>
<p>For example, I needed to take Physics 2 over the summer and wanted to do it at a CC. I had to seek approval from the physics department chair and he wouldn’t allow me to do it (he said he would have approved it if it was calculus based). He did, however, sign off on me taking it at a 4-year state school.</p>
<p>The best plan is to start with your college’s registrar. See what the requirements are and what you need to do to seek approval. Keep in mind that the CC course must have an equivalent at Cornell and it really shouldn’t be a course required for your major.</p>

<p>That is a perfectly valid reason for denying the transfer credit and has nothing to do with the course being at a CC, but rather the course was denied because it wasn’t the same course.</p>
<p>Physics without calculus has to gloss over extremely important parts.</p>
<p>Not that it matters to me anymore, but I was asking for the CC course to substitute for the non-calc based physics 102 at Cornell. The reason he denied the CC course was because he felt it wouldn’t be as challenging as Cornell’s physics 102. The course I ended up in over the summer was a non-calc based class.</p>
<p>oh, that’s different then</p>
