When do new students receive their NetID?
New students receive their NetID and activation code beginning in early April. During the activation process, they are introduced to policies governing the use of Cornell’s computing resources. They can choose to view a brief online orientation to Cornell’s computing-related services called Travelers of the Electronic Highway. Students who don’t receive their NetID before they arrive on campus, or during registration, can check by visiting the CIT Contact Center, 119 Computing and Communications Center (CCC), or calling 255-8990. It is open Monday-Friday, 8 am to 5 pm (extended phone hours until 8 p.m. during the academic year). Students must have a valid Cornell ID to get a NetID.
