Changing Your Course Start Date or Schedule

Monique Staats Updated by Monique Staats

If you need to change your course start date for any reason, you can self-transfer via the Student Portal. Please complete self-transfers by 11:59 PM ET (New York time) on the Sunday after your course begins (Day 5). For more information: eCornell's Drop/Transfer Policy

To change your course start date, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your eCornell Student Portal.
  2. Click Enrollment History from the left navigation.
  3. Under the Enrolled tab, locate the course you'd like to transfer and click the Reschedule Course button.
  4. Use the drop-down menu to choose a new start date.
  5. Click Confirm New Date.
  6. Once the transfer is successful, you will see a confirmation message: Section Change Successful.

If you have trouble with this process, please contact Student Support at ec_droptransfer@cornell.edu. Be sure to include the course name and new start date. You can browse our catalog for a list of available dates here.

Moving one course will not automatically rearrange the rest of your schedule. Each course must be changed individually by repeating the steps above.
