This page complements information already provided by the registrar's course roster for CS.

Notes:

  1. Although "remote access" had been discussed previously as an option (subtly) distinct "online", no such distinction will be implemented. 
  2. We only list courses "parented" by the CS department, since we can only vouch for information controlled by the CS department. 
  3. Regarding students for whom the Ithaca time zone will not be between 8am and 10pm local time (henceforth "distant" students): you may be wondering whether or not distant students will have alternatives to any Ithaca-synchronous participation/attendance-based grades and/or will have access to sections/office hours at accessible times.  For now, assume at a minimum that all lectures will be recorded, and assume that many courses will make such adjustments, unless noted otherwise below or on the course website for definitive course-specific policies.
  4. Regarding students who are in the Ithaca area, in a class that has in-person exams, and registered for an online version of a course component: we have decided not to implement a department-wide policy as to whether such students must  take the in-person exam in-person, or whether an alternative will be available. Thus, the decision is up to the individual instructors.
  5. Enrollment restrictions and waitlist rules are described on the CS Enrollment Information Pages.
  6. Only students registered for the in-person version of a course may attend in-person meetings: "sitting in" or in-person "shopping" is not permitted this semester, due to contact-tracing requirements.
    However, instructors intend to facilitate "shopping" via online means, by making lecture recordings for the first few lectures available to all Cornell students via netid access on the appropriate https://cs.cornell.edu/courses/csXXXX/2020fa page.
    1. If you have not received a seating assignment, even if you are enrolled in an in-person versiondo not come to the physical meeting; attend the online/shopping version instead. 
  7. Information about which lectures will allow co-enrollment in an overlapping course has been added to the CS Enrollment Information Pages. See those pages for definitive information, but as of August 26, the only lectures that will permit enrolling in an overlapping course are:
    1. Overlap of not more than 5 minutes permitted: 3220, 4410, 4411, 6210, 6787
    2. Overlap of any duration permitted: 1110, 2024, 2110, 2111, 2112, 2802, 4414, 4740, 4820, 5220, 6120, 6817, 6820, 6830, 7850

Questions about individual course's policies: contact the course instructor(s). The webpages for CS courses have a standard access URL of the form https://cs.cornell.edu/courses/csXXXX/2020fa, where XXXX is the course number (e.g., "1110").

New constraints, recognized by the department chair, arising during this unusual semester require that students registering for this class must be able to participate synchronously in the online lectures at the times they are officially scheduled for in the course roster.
