Cornell NetID?

Does anyone know when we will be getting our NetIDs? (I’m an incoming freshman) Has anyone ED gotten theirs yet or anyone in general?

On my to-do list, it says that “Beginning April 3rd, as soon as the university processes your enrollment deposit, you will receive an email (at your admissions email address) that your NetID was created and what to do next.”

But what about those of us who were accepted ED and already submitted our deposits a while ago?

@cornellian19, I have the same question. My D was accepted ED and we submitted our deposit back in late December. She has not gotten any email yet as to activating NetID. She is anxiously waiting for this. Since you haven’t gotten anything yet either, I’m assuming it’s on its way. She keeps checking spam and reviewing old emails from admissions just to be sure, but so far nothing regarding NetID. Maybe today?

She did go and login with her appID for housing and dining though, and that seemed to work.

You should get your net ID very soon

@CGZoo42 Does anyone know if all ED kids get their NetID email at the same time? I know people who’ve gotten in ED who have gotten the email about their NetID but I haven’t gotten one

I was admitted ED and I got my NetID about an hour ago.

@nsun200 What school are you going to? I wonder if that’s how it’s organized. CALS for me.

I’m in Engineering

Hopefully coming soon. Nothing yet for my daughter who is in CAS

I just got an email response saying - “Since there was a large backlog of NetIDs to provision today when they began processing them, they may have split the processing between today and Monday. If you didn’t receive the email today, you should receive it on Monday.”

I just received an email saying my NetID and activation code is being sent by postal mail, but the Cornell website implies a different email with the NetID and code in the email itself and it says “Once you receive that email, you will log in with your ApplicantID and password to retrieve your NetID Activation Code.”

Has anyone else gotten the email about mailing a NetID? Have you also gotten an email with the actual ID and activation code in the email?

My daughter got her activation email this morning.

@annwank‌ Did she get an email saying it was being mailed or did her email have the NetID and activation code right in it? I wonder why mine is being mailed.

@cornellian19, it was the actual activation email directing her to set up her NetID and cornell email account.
