Campus Alerts

The latest information on road closures, construction delays, changes to operating status, or other unusual events on campus.

The Contacts and Directories features in Cornell Qualtrics have changed unexpectedly. Cornell has been using what the vendor calls XM Directory Lite, which largely operates like the previous Qualtrics Contacts or Panels. The functionality instead currently resembles what Qualtrics calls XM Directory, which looks and operates differently.

The vendor has been contacted and is looking into the cause of the change and possible remediation options. If you are conducting research and the Directory feature change is interfering with your work, please put in a support request using the Cornell Qualtrics general support form

Reunion Weekend Parking Impacts 6/6-6/9/2024

Over 7,000 alumni and guests are expected to attend Cornell Reunion 2024. From Thursday, June 6 to Sunday, June 9, several parking lots will be reserved for the use of returning alumni and the vendors and service providers entrusted to make this a memorable event for our guests.

Community members are encouraged to plan their commute with these events in mind and avoid driving on campus if possible. Commuting alternatives include using a park-and-ride, working remotely (if approved to do so), sharing the ride, taking transit, or cycling or walking to campus. Permits and payment requirements in most parking spaces will be suspended from Friday, June 7, through Sunday, June 9. Exceptions include spaces specifically reserved for an event or a particular license plate, MT spaces, accessibility spaces without a placard, and life safety areas.

We thank everyone for their cooperation during Reunion Weekend 2024.
