Application Self-Service System
Using the self-service system will allow you to verify that the admissions office has received your application materials as well as access your Financial Aid To Do List if you have applied for financial aid. To use the system, you will need an activated ApplicantID and password.
ApplicantIDs are typically sent about 1 to 2 weeks after we receive and process your Common Application. The ApplicantID and activation code are sent to the email address you list on your Common Application.
Click Here to Activate your ApplicantID.
Already Activated ApplicantID?
If you have already activated your ApplicantID, log in to access Admissions Self-Service.
Please note: Your Financial Aid To Do List will not be available until late November.
If you have any questions about your ApplicantID, activation code, or password, please review the ApplicantID FAQs.
Please use the troubleshooting feedback form to report any problems logging in to the system.
NetID Information
Cornell will begin issuing and mailing NetIDs and activation codes to incoming fall students in early April.
NetIDs are typically sent about 1 to 2 weeks after we receive and process your enrollment deposit. Letters are sent on a daily basis during the work week through the end of July. Once you receive your letter, please follow the instructions to activate the NetID and Cornell email address.
Please note that once you activate your NetID, your applicantID will be deactivated. You will no longer be able to access your Admissions Self-Service account. You will still be able to update your address information or access your financial aid to do list by using the Student Center.
If you have questions about the activation process, or if you have not yet received your NetID mailing, you can contact the CIT Help Desk at 255-8990 or helpdesk@cornell.edu.
