Adult students and veterans don't apply for undergraduate admission through a separate pathway at Cornell. Depending on their academic history, they follow the traditional pathway for first-year applicants (never matriculated at a college and earned fewer than 12 credits after high school) or apply as transfer applicants.
All applicants for matriculated undergraduate study at Cornell are categorized as either first-year applicants or transfer applicants. We do not have a separate process through which non-traditional students apply for admission.
Students should submit their application using the Common Application, which can be completed and submitted online. To learn more, please see the How to Apply webpage
