Email addresses & aliases

Email aliases are generally in the form of firstname.lastname@yale.edu and are available to all currently active Yale students, staff and faculty. Email aliases provide a convenient and permanent email address while a person is at Yale. Your email alias is not the same as your email account - your email alias forwards messages to your email account.

To view your current alias check the online phonebook.

To request a change to your alias, or add a new alias:

• Go to www.yale.edu/start.
  You must be on a (VPN) Virtual Private Network connection to Yale in order to access the link from off-campus.
• Click Start Access for myself
• Click Access or services for myself
• Look for email alias under the application column and click the radio button for add. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click submit
• Follow the instructions on the page
