Cornell University NetIDs

In February 2007, Cornell University began issuing NetIDs to all alumni. The NetID is a universal and secure identifier, unique to you. Your NetID will be required to access many secure Cornell online services, such as e-mail forwarding.

In late February 2007, all Cornell alumni were sent a mailing which contains information about NetIDs as well as their own NetID and activation instructions. ( If you received this mailing but haven't yet activated your NetID, please use the Request Assistance form below to request a new activation code. )
