Install Bear Access for Macintosh
Bear Access 2007 was released on June 12, 2007.
Bear Access is the name of Cornell's delivery system for services the Cornell community uses. Bear Access has two parts: the infrastructure which is the program that delivers the services and the applications and services themselves.
Some components of Bear Access are different depending on the operating system version on your computer. For details, see the Summary of Changes page. The fall 2007 Bear Access release requires Mac OS 10.3.9 or higher.
Follow these instructions to install and begin using the Bear Access infrastructure and applications.
