OK, enough about snow falling on cedars on islands – let’s talk application deadlines. This year the credit course application deadlines are Feb. 15 or May 1. Any student applying for financial aid must submit their course application by Feb. 15. If there are places left in classes after Feb. 15, then students who are not interested in financial aid may apply up to May 1.
The deadline for the RIFS internship applications is also – - – Feb. 15! Other internships (Seabird Conservation, Sustainable Engineering) have a March deadline – see: http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_students_internships.html
