Just the Facts/Student Center

The new Just the Facts/Student Center offers a way to access your information 24/7 from your computer. Log in before pre-enrollment to familiarize yourself with the new features.

Just the Facts/Student Center is arranged in three broad areas—Academics, Finances and Personal Information.

Academics

• View your registration status at the beginning of each semester as well as your class schedule. View holds on your record.
• View grades as soon as they are processed.
• Pre-enroll and add/drop classes. Find out more on the Enrollment pages.
• Request official transcripts (in the “other academic” drop down list).

Finances - Bursar and Financial Aid

• Review your bursar account by month or semester.
• Look at your aid application status and find out if there are other required forms you need to complete.
• View a summary of your financial aid package by academic year.

Your financial aid prior to AY2008-09, is not in the new Just the Facts/Student Center, but is available on the Just the Facts channel on uportal.cornell.edu.

Personal Information

• Maintain your home/local addresses and emergency contact information as well as email adresses and phone numbers.
• Maintain your ethnicity information. The new system offers a more detailed list of possible ethnicities. To change yours, go to the drop down box in the Personal Information section and choose Ethnicity, then click the >> button. On the screen that appears you can add other ethnicities by clicking the Add button or change the one presented by clicking on the looking glass and choosing a different ethnicity.

Addresses

Address Type	Notes
Home	Your W2 will be sent to this address, as will the tax form the Bursar sends each year (see note under Billing).
CU Assigned	If you live on-campus, this will be filled in and updated automatically by the University.
Student Local	Your paycheck will be sent to this address unless you live on-campus or have direct deposit.
Billing	Bills are online so this address is no longer necessary and will be blank. Tax forms are sent out once a year from the Bursar to your Home Address unless you enter a different Billing Address.
Student International	If you have an international address in addition to your home address (which can be domestic or international), you would enter it with this address type.

Emergency Contact Information

We collect two types of contact information:

• Emergency Mass Notification - a phone number (can be both a voice phone and a text message enabled phone if you have one) where we are best able to reach you at any time. This number will NOT be listed in the Directory. To enter or update, choose Phone Numbers from the drop down list.
• Emergency Contact - name and phone number for a person to contact in the case of a personal emergency (e.g., you are injured). Choose the Emergency Contact link to maintain that information.

This data is confidential and not shared except with those who need to communicate with you or your Emergency Contact in the event of a university emergency.
