<p>Okay...I've seen and heard that transfers are exempt from the swim test and PE requirement.</p>
<p>But then my New Student Preview has that I have yet to sign up for the swim test, and I must take it.</p>
<p>..Uhh..which is it?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>YES......transfers are exempt from the swim test!!!!!</p>
<p>Unless you don't have enough credits to be considered for sophomore status or apparently if you want to take PE classes anyway.</p>
<p>I think you need at least 20 credits transfered to be exempt from the swim test.</p>
<p>In order to be considered for sophomore status you need at least 30 credits....however...it is rare for accepted transfers students to come in with less than 30 credits.</p>
<p>You ARE exempt from swim test as well as the PE requirement.</p>
<p>I got my tentative credit award today.</p>
<p>It says, "Transfer students who transfer a total of 24 credits or more are exempt from PE requirements. Transfer of 13-23 credits requires 1 PE course and a swim test at Cornell."</p>
