A Cornell Network ID (or NetID) is a personal, unique identifier assigned to you. It consists of your initials followed by one or more numbers, for example, xxx99@cornell.edu. You use it, along with a password, to obtain access to online services such as email and administrative systems. Your NetID and password also give you access to services that are exclusive to Cornell.

Consultant

When you receive your Sponsored NetID, you must submit a copy of a valid, government-issued photo ID.

Don't miss important communications sent to your Cornell email address!

When your NetID and Cornell email address are assigned:

  • A Cornell email address is created for you in this format: netid@cornell.edu (substitute your NetID for “netid”). You WILL receive email at this address, so check your Cornell email account often or forward email sent to it.

  • You can forward email sent to your Cornell address to your regular email address by following the steps at Faculty/Staff: Forward Your Cornell Email
