FAQ

Where does my information come from?

Yalies only uses data that is already publicly available to Yale students—absolutely no protected information is revealed. NetIDs, UPIs, and emails come from the Yale Directory, and everything else comes from the Yale Face Book.

Removing information from the Yale Directory

Directory information is generally public record as a matter of FERPA policy. Yale College students may follow directions from the University Registrar's Office to have their information removed from the central directory, Yale recommends that you contact registrar@yale.edu to request removal. Bear in mind this may prevent you from using some y/cs services.

Yalies draws name pronunciations from NameCoach, a third-party company that Yale uses to provide name pronunciations, plus additional information like phonetic spelling and pronouns. You can provide this imformation to Yale by visiting Yale Hub.

I can't log in to Yalies, how do I re-gain access?

You need to add yourself back to the directory of students at the Yale Directory. You can do so in your Yale Hub account under the personal data tab, directory listing option.
