Once you have submitted your deposit, you will be able to submit an I-20 form application with Cornell Tech to receive an I-20. If you are a recent graduate from undergraduate, you will need to apply for a transfer with your current DSO. Once the I-20 is ready, you will receive an email notice with next steps. I-20 forms can take 3-5 business days to process after submission or after the transfer release date.

Once you have submitted your deposit, you should submit an I-20 form application with Cornell Tech as soon as possible to receive an I-20.  

Please note that you will need to be on campus for orientation. 

For new students, please submit early to give yourself enough time to secure a visa appointment as slots may be limited.

For transfer students, you should make sure your transfer release date is before orientation. Please work with your DSO to release your SEVIS record to Cornell Tech. You should submit your I-20 application before your transfer date to allow for a review of your submission and so that it can be processed shortly after your I-20 release date. Please note that we cannot access your SEVIS record or issue you an I-20 until the day of or after your transfer release date.

Once your I-20 has been processed, you will receive an email to access it in your admissions portal.

While there are opportunities to engage in research, note that students enrolled in Cornell Tech masters programs (MEng/MS) are not eligible for research assistantships that support tuition, health insurance, and provide a stipend. 

There are several opportunities to engage in research for students on campus including specialization projects (for Jacobs students), independent studies, or, in rare/limited occasions, research positions for hourly wage. Once enrolled, students who are interested in research opportunities should first review the research interests of Cornell Tech faculty and reach out to those whom they would want to work with based on interest; our faculty are not likely to respond to students who are not yet in the program. The Student and Academic Affairs team can provide more information about independent studies. 

For any other campus positions, which are also limited, you will need to refer to the Student Employment website. Please note, open positions will be posted closer to the Fall semester start date. Students are allowed to work up to 10 hrs/week and you will not be able to start a position until your program start date.

Cornell Tech does not offer deferred enrollment. If you are unable to join this upcoming cohort, you will need to withdraw your enrollment.  

You can re-apply for the following enrollment cycle; Re-applicants are eligible for document transfer such as transcripts and letters of recommendation as well as an application fee waiver.  If you have submitted a deposit, you may be eligible for a deposit transfer.  All re-applicants will be asked to submit a new personal statement and an updated resume. Please note that admission is not guaranteed for re-applicants.

Please email [email protected] with any updates.

If you will no longer be joining the incoming class, please send an email to [email protected] to withdraw your enrollment. Please note that all deposits are non-refundable as stated in your decision letter.
