Your NetID is a unique identifier that provides access to your Cornell email and other non-public Cornell resources and information.

Cornell provides additional security protection for personal data by requiring Two-Step Login to access important online resources, including Student Essentials, Canvas, and Student Center. Two-Step Login is a two-factor authentication service that prevents the use of stolen Cornell passwords by requiring confirmation from something a third party doesn’t have, such as your phone or another device. Because some tasks you need to complete before arriving on campus will require Two-Step Login, enroll during the NetID activation process.

Steps to Activate NetID, Email, and Two-Step Login

1. Confirm your enrollment with Cornell and submit an enrollment deposit, if required by your program.
2. After your deposit is processed, an email from netid-activation@cornell.edu will be sent to the address used for your Cornell application with instructions to activate your NetID and email. It can take up to two business days for your NetID to be created once your deposit is processed. Note that the email might land in your spam/junk folder.

   Graduate Students

   You will receive an email with instructions to set up your NetID via ApplyWeb.

   Professional Students (Cornell Tech, Johnson, Law, and Vet)

   You will receive an email with instructions to activate your NetID and Cornell email account online or via text message.

3. Be sure to visit the IT@Cornell website and set up Two-Step Login to gain access to required resources.

All new students must memorize their seven-digit Cornell ID number.

This is your unique personal identifier at Cornell. It will be printed on your Student ID Card. You will be required to use it for:

• forms
• exams
• paying your bill
• security verifications and more.

Your Cornell ID number is different than your Cornell NetID. Your NetID consists of your initials plus a number. You use it, along with a password, to obtain secure access to online services at Cornell.

Access the housing application at Apply for Housing on Campus.

Review your dining options and enroll in a meal plan.

In addition to the traditional meal plans and debit plans, be sure to check out City Bucks - a pre-paid, declining balance account accessed through your Cornell Student ID Card that eliminates the need to carry cash at many off-campus locations.

The status of this item will not update until mid-January.

If you have a current, working Student ID Card, you do not need to get a new one. Once we create a new card for you, your current card will stop working.

Depending on your relationship to the university and the services that you sign up for, your ID card can also be used as an electronic door key and to access a variety of functions and facilities on campus, including athletic events, CornellCard charges, dining units, fitness centers, libraries, and transportation services.

Before the end of the Spring semester, you must have an official, final transcript of your undergraduate degree delivered to the Graduate School Admissions office with the degree marked as conferred or awarded. Electronic submission is required.

• The Graduate School Admissions office requires its own official copy of your documents. Any transcripts or other academic records that you submitted with your application, or sent directly to your admitting program, will not fulfill the final transcript requirement.
• If you earned your undergraduate degree at an institution outside the United States of America, you must provide a transcript, a certified copy of your diploma and/or degree certificate, and a certified translation of all documents if they are not already in English.
• If you earned your undergraduate degree from Cornell University, you do not need to submit a transcript.

The final deadline to complete this requirement is May 9. Have your documents delivered earlier to avoid processing and registration delays. Detailed instructions on how to submit your documents can be found on our Transcript Requirements web page.

The deadline to submit your New Student Health Requirements information was December 20.

Financial institutions, including the financial departments of colleges and universities, are required by federal laws to be transparent with their policies/procedures and requirements. Our goal is to help students to understand the cost of their education and their financial responsibilities, as well as Cornell's financial policies and expectations for payment.

For this reason, all Cornell students are required to accept the Financial Responsibility Agreement when they first register at Cornell. Signing this agreement is your acknowledgment of your financial obligations related to enrolling in classes, and your understanding of the potential consequences that may result if you fail to meet your obligations.

If you have not submitted your Financial Responsibility Agreement, complete this required form as soon as possible.
