Our Vision
Developing leaders and improving lives through the support of students and teaching.
Our Mission
The CALS Registrar's Office is dedicated to creating a professional atmosphere which supports students and faculty throughout their academic career and as they move forward as responsible citizens and contributors to the improvement of society. This is fostered by our values of respect, honesty, integrity, and confidentiality. Our commitment to implement effective systems and technologies will ensure that our students, faculty, and staff receive accurate and up-to-date information regarding enrollment, student records, and course management.
The New Student Services Center
As you are aware, Cornell has implemented a new student services system. Students can access their records as they always have through "Just the Facts", however the layout will look different. To learn more information about this process please refer to the University Registrars (OUR) Website: http://registrar.sas.cornell.edu/index.html
