What is an ApplicantID?
An ApplicantID is a personal, unique identifier assigned to you. It consists of “app” plus the year for which you are applying, followed by a dash, followed by your initials, followed by one or more numbers. For example, if your name were “Eugene Walter Ewings” and you were applying for admission in Fall 2011, your Applicant ID might be app11-ewe2. You use your ApplicantID, along with a password, to obtain access to online services. A password is required with your ApplicantID to ensure that no one but you can access your confidential Cornell information. Your ApplicantID and password also give you access to services that are exclusive to the Cornell community.
