Exchange students are graded on the J.D. scale, but if allowed by their home institution hey have the option to have all of their grades (for that semester and, if applicable, for the following one) converted to the General LL.M. grading scale (HH/H/S/U). Students who elect to be graded on the General LL.M. scale must confirm their election within the first four weeks of their first semester at Cornell. Students must receive written confirmation from the home school advisor that the General Studies LL.M. grading scale is acceptable prior to confirming the selection to be graded on that scale.
