| Due Now | Activate NetID, Cornell Email, and Two-Step Login Your NetID is a unique identifier that provides access to your Cornell email and other non-public Cornell resources and information. You will need access to your Cornell email to continue engaging with Engineering Advising this summer. Your NetID will also be needed for other tasks this summer. The university will send information via email about activating your NetID after Cornell has received your deposit. If you have not received your NetID by May 15 or have questions about the NetID activation process, please contact the IT Service Desk by calling (607) 255-5500 or by emailing itservicedesk@cornell.edu. |

Your Advising Portal is managed through Canvas and is where you will find information and resources to help you learn about advising, transfer credit, liberal studies, and preparing to enroll in your fall classes. Access your Advising Portal (Canvas) |
| June-August | Advising Meetings Your major department is responsible for evaluating your transfer credit and will communicate with you about how the credit will transfer to your Cornell record. For transfer credit award questions and questions about your major curriculum, please reach out to your major department. For more general advising questions and questions about the common curriculum and enrollment how-to’s, please make a 30-minute virtual Zoom appointment with an Engineering Advising professional academic advisor. We do not make same-day appointments. Come prepared with questions! Book a Zoom Appointment |
| July 21-24 | Pre-Enrollment Period for Incoming Transfer Students The pre-enrollment period for incoming transfer students is expected to occur in mid-July. More information will be released later.
