The Office of Student Accounting welcomes all new students to Weill Cornell Medicine! As a student at Weill Cornell Medicine, the Office of Student Accounting would like to provide you with an annual checklist that may be helpful in addressing common inquires.
Please note that you will not have access to any of the forms until you have received your CWID.
Electronic Attestation
As you start your first term at WCM, all students need to submit the electronic attestation form to confirm they understand the official method of communication at WCM is your school issued email address. To submit this form please login to your LEARN portal.
Health Insurance Waiver
Health Insurance Waiver At the start of each academic year, all students are assessed the health insurance premium for the fall term. You will need to submit the annual health insurance waiver if you do not intend to use the WCM provided coverage. The Office of Student accounting sends you an email reminder each June to let you know the new enrollment period. Any student intending to waive coverage must complete the waiver process and all required documentation by the annual waiver deadline in September each year. For more information click here.
The following forms and activities are all accessible through LEARN.
