<p>I really need to know this, as I'm in a really bad situation right now. Please help me. I've been emailing professors to get into several classes (a research class and several project groups), but they have all said that it is too late to get into the class. So I am wondering are there any classes where it is possible to still join now and get at least 2 credits. </p>
<p>Also, if you happen to know, what are the consequences of going into bad academic standing (e.g. not having the minimum number of required credits per semester. Having 10 instead of 12.)? I know you get a warning, but what does that entail, and how serious is that?</p>
<p>hmm..what happened? did u drop too many classes? anyways, most of the classes are probably too late. maybe you can try to add AEWs (1-credit supplements to most engineering courses). they would prolly let you in, since you are taking the class. i'm saying this assuming you are an engineer or taking engineering classes (cs100, chem209, etc.)</p>

<p>If you fall below full-time status I believe you lose Cornell financial aid eligibility and I heard somewhere that you can lose on campus housing eligibility...check the housing contract you signed.</p>
<p>At this point in the semester...even with a petition...I think it would be difficult to add a class. Most classes have already had prelims and other assignments due and it would be difficult to catch up. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Are you Arts and Sciences? If so, talk to Dean Corazon. Send her an email and set up a meeting. She is very helpful in getting one's life together.</p>
<p>My son fell to 11 credits, having taken a W in a class. (He had petitioned to drop the class). He received a warning letter, and was placed on academic probation. As a result, he was not permitted to join a fraternity. More importantly, we were concerned that since he was enrolled in less than 12 credits, he would no longer be covered under our health plan, which calls for full-time college enrollment for children over 18. We checked with Cornell, which indicated that so long as he had originally been enrolled full-time and had paid for it, Cornell would report to the health insurance carrier, if asked, that he was a full time student. By the way, his academic advisor never warned him about the potential impact of his withdrawal from the course on his health insurance coverage.</p>
<p>Thanks... Looks like I'll be put on academic probation. Hope this doesn't affect my future too much and I wonder what it will do to my transfer chances.
I'm a freshman engineer, by the way. Guess I'm going to have to see how this plays out.</p>
