This month, we’re celebrating Adobe August with a series of demonstrations on how to use various Creative Cloud applications. If you can’t make it to these demos, or you want to learn more about Adobe Creative Cloud, check out these online courses:
I have a CWID and password. Why can’t I access Learning (LMS), My Dashboard, or Careers?
You are most likely receiving an error when attempting to access Learning, My Dashboard, or Careers, because the system does not yet have a profile for you.
New WCM Employees
If you are a new WCM employee, in most cases, access should be provisioned within one to two days of completing your onboarding paperwork with Human Resources.
New WCM Non-Employees
If you are a new WCM non-employee, in most cases, you will receive a system-generated email informing you that you have been assigned training in the Learning system. In other cases, your WCM sponsor or contact may inform you that your access has been set up, with instructions on how to log on to take training.
For more assistance, please contact the ITS Service Desk at support@med.cornell.edu or 212-746-4878 with the following information:
- Your name
- Your login information (CWID)
- Your affiliation (e.g., WCM, NYP, etc.)
- Your contact information (e.g. phone number and email address)

We are continuing to simplify the approval process for standard hardware purchases – this time for Macs! Beginning on July 31, 2017, when you submit a SciQuest shopping cart for a standard Mac computer through Apple, ITS approval will no longer be required. Removing this approval means that Apple will receive your purchase order more quickly, and you will experience improved turnaround time on standard hardware purchases.
For more information visit the Hardware Purchasing page.
