FAQs:

There is a new curriculum sheet for every new matriculating first year class. Though changes to each year’s curriculum sheet are typically small, there may be some advantage to switching.
You may request to follow a newer curriculum year by emailing Brooks-studentservices@cornell.edu. Please include your 7 digit Cornell ID in the body of your email.
NOTE: You may only switch to a newer curriculum sheet. You may not switch to an older curriculum sheet. Once you switch to a newer curriculum sheet, you are NOT permitted to switch back. Be sure before you make a change. You are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor before changing your curriculum sheet.
