Cornell University

First-Year

You're coming to Cornell as a new first-year student in Fall 2023. Now what?

Make your transition an easy one. You are expected to...

  1. Track your university requirements on the To Do List.
  2. Review information on topics, including Health & Community, Finances, and more.
  3. Explore resources featured throughout this site.

All new and continuing Cornell students must also complete the Fall Checklist prior to the start of the fall semester. The Fall Checklist is a comprehensive site compiling all of Cornell's Covid-19 response requirements to keep our campus safe and healthy. Access to this checklist, along with the deadline to complete it, will be shared here later this summer.
