Chapter 1 Introduction

Hi there! I have a lot of transcripts coming from various universities, and I am trying to make a better way to track my meetings, todos, and academic information. My hope is that this will become a proposal and a calendar that will finally get me through my undergraduate degree!

1.1 Incoming Transfer Credits

  • I was a Gilman Scholar at the Universidad Austral de Chile. The course credits were not included in my transfer due to a miscommunication. These should count for my international experience, and be part of my transfer profile.
  • Writing courses were not initially utilized to fulfil my writing requirements. There are many to choose from! Let’s reevaluate!
  • Other courses were not considered, which I believe have suitable equivalents both in CALS and out.
  • In this section I have gathered my credits to explain.

1.2 Completing My Incompletes

  • First Leave Incompletes (2015): My first leave should have been medical. Upon return, I had professor approval to finish, but these credits were not allowed to be completed due to an advising error.
  • Second Leave Incompletes (2020): These should be considered due to the conditions of the times, as well as financial and disability considerations.
  • Here I outline a project plan for completing these courses.

1.3 Final Revised Calendar

  • All this considered, I believe that I can complete my degree with Cornell in one semester. I outline my plan in this section.

1.4 Diagnosis and Letters of Support

  • I was recognized as as a student with a disability while at Cornell, and I finally have a diagnosis and medication. My providers were kind enough to offer their support here.
