Paperwork checklist

Please be sure to read this page in its entirety.

The full program charge is due upon acceptance to secure registration in the program and course(s) for which your student has been accepted. Only students who are paid-in-full are assigned housing.

Please return the following forms as soon as they are completed and no later than June 13 (except where mentioned below). If you cannot meet the deadlines, please bring the completed forms with you on Opening Day. If at all possible, we recommend that you make a copy of the completed forms before mailing them and bring the copies with you on Opening Day.

Note: If you wait until Opening Day to return the forms, you will be delayed during check-in. Also, your student's Cornell ID card will not be ready for you, which is a great inconvenience in gaining access to your student's residence hall and eating in the dining hall.

We can't stress strongly enough how important it is to return these forms to us as soon as possible so we can provide your student with timely medical care (if needed); allow her/him to check into her/his room, eat in the dining hall, participate in field trips; and give her/him access to laundry services. Please contact us if you have any questions about these forms. Thank you.

The forms are available here as pdf documents, or you may contact our office for copies. To view the pdfs, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.

We have sent you an e-mail with instructions about how to use our online Student Services System, including where you can check the status of these forms.
