The academic year at SLU consists of autumn and spring semester. The autumn semester and the spring semester are divided into periods. Often, students will take one class per period.

​​​​​​SLU classes offered in English

SLU does not offer any language classes, therefore CALS exchange students will be exempt from the CALS requirement to enroll in a Swedish language class.

Due to their long history cooperation, SLU and Cornell have long-standing research cooperations between faculty members. Upon their return, incoming CALS exchange students will be matched with a researcher or mentor from SLU who worked or studied at Cornell at some point.
