Disability Self-Identification Form
Please take a moment to identify whether or not you have a disability.
This data is important to ensure that Cornell provides the appropriate amount and kind of resources for our employees.
Even if you don't have a disability, identifying your status is important to providing accurate data.
It's easy to do.
Disability Self-Identification Form
The definition of disability includes temporary as well as permanent conditions. In addition to conditions such as blindness, deafness, and mobility impairments, disabilities include "invisible" conditions such as cancer, diabetes, epilepsy, autism, bipolar disorder, brain injury, and others.

If you need to change your status or information at any time, just update your personal profile in Workday.
It's confidential.
Neither your colleagues nor supervisor have access to your disability status. Cornell uses the information in aggregate to help shape disabilities policy, programs, and governmental compliance. Only you and a small group of HR Information Systems administrators have access to your disability data in Workday.
It's important.
Understanding how many of our employees are experiencing disabilities helps Cornell ensure that we're providing the right kinds of accommodations and services. The university also is required to provide data for regulatory compliance.
