How do I obtain a WCM alumni email account?
If you are a student about to graduate from a degree-granting program, you will receive an email from the Alumni Affairs office with information about registering for an alumni account. Follow the instructions provided. You may also attempt to self-provision your alumni email account by going to https://identity.weill.cornell.edu/alumni.
ITS has plans to expand this service to alums that have already graduated from Weill Cornell Medicine. More information will be available in the near future.
Will my alumni email account appear in the WCM Directory?
No, not unless you personally add it to your account.
What happens to my student email account once I graduate?
Upon graduating, you will have 90 days to register for an alumni email account and save any emails from your student account. During this grace period, please inform your contacts of your new alumni email address. After 90 days, your student account will be closed and all of your emails will be lost.
What happens to my student WCM email account if I continue to work at the institution after graduation?
All graduates, whether they stay with WCM or transition to a position elsewhere, will receive a notification to set up a permanent alumni account. If you maintain an active affiliation with WCM, your @med.cornell.edu address will remain intact, and you can also use your alumni account.
What happens to my WCM email if I transition to NewYork-Presbyterian?
A WCM email account can coexist with an NYP account for the same person. Therefore, a graduating student moving to NYP will continue to have the full 60 day grace period to save important information.
How much storage is available in my alumni email account?
Alumni email accounts hold 50GB worth of data. You can view how much storage is left in your account by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of your account, then clicking General > My Account.
Do I log into my alumni mailbox with my CWID and password?
No. While your CWID is still the same, your user name to login is your CWID@alumni.weill.cornell.edu. Your password will be separate from your existing WCM CWID account password.
