WCM students who need to access the internet using a personal (non-tagged) device - like a smart TV or Google Home – can now gain access with a new wireless network, Apollo. Download our Apollo flier to keep this info handy.
How do I access Apollo?
What internet resources can I access on the Apollo wireless network?
The resources available to you on Apollo are similar to what you’d get on a guest network at a coffee shop. Most internet sites will be accessible, as well as print.weill.cornell.edu, but WCM resources, like fileshare, will not. For those, you’ll need a device that can access the WCM network.
Where can I access the Apollo wireless network?
You can access the Apollo wireless network at the following locations:
- Olin Hall – Residential floors 5 – 10
- Lasdon Hall – Residential floors 6 – 13
- Belfer Research Building
- 1300 York Main campus
- 570 Lexington Ave – Student Midtown Center

Earlier this week, ITS announced that we would be introducing a new policy that would automatically delete emails in your WCM Deleted Items folder that were over 90 days old. After reviewing feedback from the WCM community, we have decided to update the policy and only remove messages in your Deleted Items folder that are older than one year.

ITS is helping you keep your inbox a whole lot neater! On Wednesday evening, we will implement an automated cleanup feature for all WCM Outlook accounts. Emails in your Deleted Items folder will be automatically cleaned up to keep only the most recent 90 days’ worth of messaging. Any deleted emails older than 90 days will now be permanently removed from your Deleted Items folder.
Your main inbox and other folders you may have created in Outlook will be unaffected by this change.

ITS recently updated its password policy requiring faculty, staff, and students to create new passwords of at least 16 characters. If you have not yet done so, please change your password by June 3 to ensure your access to WCM services is not blocked. Omnicell and MOSAIQ users do not need to change their passwords at this time, and have already been contacted regarding how they should set up their passwords to comply with these services’ login
