What exactly is the deal with the 3-week classes?

[bongoboy]

<p>I'm guessing that they're optional... since they're during the Winter break. Am I wrong? Are they covered by financial aid or do you have to pay per class if you're interested? Are they credit-bearing? Do they go on the transcript? Are they graded on the A-F scale or Pass/Fail? Is there anything else to know about the 3-week classes?</p>

<p>Financial Aid: [url=<a href="http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/registration/tuition_fees/financial_aid.php%5DAvailable%5B/url"&gt;http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/registration/tuition_fees/financial_aid.php]Available[/url&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p>

<p>Credit Bearing: [url=<a href="http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/index.php%5DUp"&gt;http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/index.php]Up&lt;/a> to four credits](<a href="http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/index.php%5DOptional%5B/url"&gt;http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/index.php)&lt;/p>

<p>Transcript: Well if you get credit, obviously</p>

<p>Grading: [url=<a href="http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/courses/courses.php?action=roster&f=CAMPUS&v=MAIN%5Deither%5B/url"&gt;http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/courses/courses.php?action=roster&f=CAMPUS&v=MAIN]either[/url&lt;/a&gt;], but a few courses are Letter grade only. (pass/fail is called S/U at Cornell, FYI)</p>

<p>Anything and everything can be found [url=<a href="http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/index.php%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/index.php]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;], but you've already been linked there twice by this point in the post. :D</p>
