Incoming Engineering First-Year Students:

Starting in early May, Engineering Advising will email new first year students weekly throughout the summer with important information as it relates to the college common curriculum, AP and transfer credit, preparing for fall semester pre-enroll, and so much more! It is your responsibility to visit this website and to check your Cornell email account weekly between now and your arrival in August for continued information, deadlines, and updates from the College of Engineering. 

If you are not seeing our summer emails, please check your junk folder and mark our emails as "not junk".

• Go to outlook.cornell.edu and login using your NetID;
• In Outlook, go to the spam/junk folder;
• Find and mark our emails “not junk” and add the emails to your inbox;
• Right click, hover over the "junk" option, and select "never block sender's domain".
• As a final precaution, forward our summer emails from your personal email to your NetID email address.

Several items require your attention in the coming weeks and throughout the rest of the summer. Each will help ensure that you are prepared for your academic transition in the fall.  Please read through the following carefully.
