Install Bear Access for Windows
Bear Access 2007 was released on June 12, 2007.
Bear Access is the name of Cornell's delivery system for applications and services the Cornell community uses. Bear Access has two parts: the infrastructure which is the program that delivers the services and the 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.
