Classes and Campus Activities for Winter 2022 and Spring 2022
Winter 2022 courses generally will be conducted online.
Spring 2022 instruction generally will be conducted in-person and students therefore should
make suitable arrangements to be present for in-person learning for the entire semester.
Please be aware, however, the University reserves the right, as it deems necessary, to adjust
course modality over the period of the semester to respond to changes in health and safety risk
factors and regulatory requirements.
By enrolling in my classes for either the Winter 2022 term or Spring 2022 semester, or both
semesters, I understand and acknowledge the following:
1. It is my responsibility to review all course information prior to the start of the
semester, including but not limited to any updated information concerning the format in
which and duration for which courses are anticipated to be offered;
2. Other than when isolating or quarantining because of health and safety concerns, I will
be expected to participate in each course in the format in which the course is offered
(even if that format changes over the course of the semester);
3. At any time, Cornell may change the format or duration of my courses based on
factors including but not limited to health or safety concerns, the judgment of the
instructor, instructor status, pedagogical needs, or student enrollment numbers;
4. It is my responsibility to make course enrollment changes (e.g. drop, withdraw, adjust
credits, or change grading basis, if available) if I do not think I can participate fully in a
course in the format in which it is offered;
5. Absent compelling circumstances, students, including me, are expected to take exams in
person (unless the instructor, in their discretion, provides for an online or take-home
exam modality). It is the responsibility of students, including me, to timely obtain
approval and coordinate exemptions to in-person exams with the appropriate university
unit, college and/or instructor;
6. At any time, Cornell may restrict or prohibit student access to certain Cornell University-
maintained facilities or services based on factors including but not limited to health or
safety concerns;
7. There may be disruptions or cancellations of campus services, programs, activities, or
events;
8. Students, including me, must follow all applicable university policies or rules (including
the Student Code of Conduct and all campus health and safety requirements), and by
failing to abide by all such policies and rules, students, including me, may have their
access restricted to Canvas, university- maintained facilities, enrollment activity, campus
services, programs, activities, or other campus events;
9. Cornell may be required to shift all classes to an online or hybrid format, or modify the
duration of the semester, if Cornell or the government (at the local, state, or federal level)
determines for any reason that continued in-person instruction is unsafe.
Finally, I understand, acknowledge, and agree that in no case will there be a tuition or fee refund
if I remain enrolled through the Winter 2022 term or the Spring 2022 semester. The only eligible
