Congratulations on your admission to Cornish College of the Arts!  Here is a list of some of the important dates and links you will want to keep handy. 

Compass

Compass is the Cornish online information system. Students use Compass to register for classes, manage their tuition account and financial aid, and track their progress to graduation.  Many departments also maintain pages for shared calendars, commonly requested forms and department announcements.  The direct address for Compass is https://compass.cornish.edu; you can also reach it via the College’s external website, cornish.edu.  Firefox, Chrome, and Safari are the recommended browsers. When you first applied for admission, you were sent a logon and password.  If you cannot find that email, contact us at admission@cornish.edu
