Self-Disclosing a Disability

Whether you consider yourself an individual with a disability or not, we invite current faculty and staff to voluntarily self-identify their disability status. By self-identifying, you help Cornell more accurately determine the diversity of our workforce and ensure individuals with disabilities are supported and represented throughout the University.

After April 13th, you can use Workday to self-disclose a disability. This can be done by logging in to Workday and choosing the “Personal Information” icon, then then “Personal Information” again under the “Change” heading. Scroll down to the bottom of this section and look for “Disability” – there will be a button to add or edit your information.
