Important!

The Cornell Installment Plan is only available for the fall and spring semesters. You must self-enroll online each semester.

Enrolling in the Cornell Installment Plan will not enroll the student in a meal plan or housing program. To enroll in those services, please contact the Dining or Housing offices separately.
