Handbooks and Other Resources
Students should refer to the most recent Handbook. Students may petition for exceptions to the rules provided in the current Handbook, particularly in cases where requirements have changed since the time they affiliated with the major. The purpose of the handbook is to collect information specific to the OR&E major. For additional important information on the ORIE major and minor requirements, see the Cornell Engineering Undergraduate Handbook.
