In all other cases, advanced standing may be granted only by the faculty members of the Admissions and Career Services Committee, and is subject to the following restrictions:

• Advanced standing may only be awarded at matriculation.
  
  
• No more than sixteen (16) credit hours of advanced standing may be awarded.
  
  
• The School's courses taken prior to matriculation will count as advanced standing credit, providing that they have not been used to fulfill degree requirements in a Cornell academic unit.
  
  
• Courses taken elsewhere may be eligible for advanced standing credit, providing that they are at the graduate level and are comparable to material covered in the School's core courses. Eligibility shall be decided by the Faculty members of the Admissions and Career Services committee. The candidate must subsequently pass the exemption exam for the corresponding core course to retain the advanced standing credits.
  
  
• If (and only if) twelve (12) or more credit hours of advanced standing are awarded (and retained by passing exemption exams where necessary) one (1) residence unit will be awarded. An award of fractional units or more than one (1) unit is not allowed.
