Enrollment Process

EDUC 2610/ILRID 2610 is open to all Cornell undergraduate students. Each section comprises 14 – 18 undergraduate participants and two trained peer facilitators. The class meets once a week for three hours. 

To maximize learning and the opportunity for meaningful intergroup dialogue, sections are intentionally created after students have enrolled in the course in order to ensure a mixed and balanced representation of views, experiences, and identities. To do this, it is necessary for us to collect information about your social identities. We do this via our Placement Form. We also use the information collected in this form to inform our decision-making when choosing specific readings and activities for the semester. 

You do not need to disclose an identity if you are not comfortable doing so, but you do need to submit a Placement Form in order to obtain or maintain enrollment status in the course.

Please note that while we use your self-reported social identities to craft dynamic and diverse sections, this information has no impact on enrollment in this course.

Waitlist

Seats are first come, first serve, however, there are a number of seats reserved for ILR students. If you are not able to enroll in EDUC 2610/ILRID 2610 in Student Center, you should still submit a Placement Form. When you submit a Placement Form, you will automatically be added to the waitlist. You should continue to check for open seats and enroll yourself if a seat becomes available. 

Once a section is full, or the course has started, you will not be able to enroll yourself and you will need a permission code to enroll in the course pending availability. As seats open up (if students drop the course or switch sections), we will begin to reach out to students on the waitlist to offer them a seat. We will contact you by email if a space opens up for you. You do not need to do anything in addition to submitting a Placement Form.

Dropping EDUC 2610/ILRID 2610

Dropping EDUC 2610/ILRID 2610 requires department consent as it is important for us to have an accurate course roster and to know if a student is dropping so we can add additional students from the waitlist.

Submit an EDUC 2610/ILRID 2610 Removal Request Form to notify us of your intention to drop the course and to receive department consent to drop the course in Student Center. The details we ask for in the form help us process your request as quickly as possible. You will receive an email notification once your request has been processed.

ILR students must meet with an advisor in OSS to request permission to drop after the add deadline.

But the section says it’s open in Student Center. 

This could be for two reasons:

1. There are a number of seats reserved for specific class years and for ILR students.
2. Classes have started or are about to start and we have switched the course to require department consent to enroll, i.e. students will need a permission code to enroll.

Although a section appears to be open, if you are receiving an error message when you try to enroll, it is because you are ineligible based on your class year and/or college, or the course requires a permission code. A couple of the sections have enrollment criteria, but most of the sections do not. If you are unable to enroll in one section due to enrollment group criteria, try a different section. If you’re still not able to enroll, submit a placement form to get added to the waitlist.

I already filled out the Placement Form, but need to make changes.

Use the Placement Form to submit edits to your availability, as well as any other changes. On the second page of the form, select that you are submitting an edit to your original submission, so that you do not need to fill out the whole form again.
