Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Admissions 177 Roberts Hall Ithaca, New York 14853-5905 t. 607.255.2036 f. 607.255.8370 Transfer Admission and Articulation Agreement between SUNY Orange and Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) is dedicated to creating partnerships with community colleges that offer programs that align with CALS' mission. One important way of doing this is through articulation agreements. An articulation agreement matches coursework between schools and is designed to help students make a smooth transition when transferring to CALS. This agreement is designed for students enrolled at SUNY Orange who are pursuing a degree and are interested in transferring to the following academic programs within CALS: . Agricultural Sciences . Environmental Science and . Animal Science . Sustainability (Science of . Applied Economics and Natural and Environmental Management* Systems) (Fall applicants only) . Food Science . Atmospheric Science . Information Science . Biological Engineering . International Agriculture and . Biological Science* Rural Development . Biology and Society* . Landscape Architecture . Biometry and Statistics (Fall applicants only) . Communication . Nutritional Sciences . Development Sociology . Plant Sciences . Entomology . Science of Earth Systems . Environmental Engineering . Viticulture and Enology All applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants who do not meet the transfer prerequisites, or who have course withdrawals, incompletes, or part-time study, are less likely to be accepted. *Spaces for Applied Economics and Management, Biological Sciences, and Biology and Society are particularly competitive. Students will be considered for transfer to Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the opportunity to complete a Bachelor of Science Degree provided the following prerequisites are met. 1. All transfer course requirements (http://cals.cornell.edu/admissions/apply/transfer/requirements/) are fulfilled or in progress when applying for the student's intended CALS major with a "B" or better. 2. A minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average is earned and the student is making satisfactory progress in their final semester courses prior to transfer. 3. The student has full-time student status. 4. The student has completed all application materials outlined in the checklist found at http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/transfer-applicants/transfer-application-checklist. 5. The student is in good academic and disciplinary standing at current institution. A maximum of 60 credits can be transferred, and credit is awarded upon review by the CALS Registrar once transfer admission is granted. CALS does not award credit for college courses taught in high school, that apply toward high school graduation requirements, or that apply toward first-year admissions requirements for CALS. CALS awards AP credit based on exam scores. For a list of exams and scores accepted by CALS and policies regarding courses not completed at Cornell, see http://cals.cornell.edu/academics/registrar/policies. NOTE: Final decisions regarding acceptance to CALS rest solely with the Selection Committee. If admitted, it is highly unlikely that a change of major will be granted. This agreement becomes effective on July 1,2014 and can be modified or discontinued by mutual consent as deemed necessary by either institution. AUTHORIZATIONS Kathryn J.
