Your program will be charged a fine per replacement card or key requested/not returned. It is important that a lost or missing access card or room key is reported to YC&E Summer Office as soon as possible. Lost or missing keys/prox cards may result in a $50 fine.

Free wireless internet access for visitors (SSID “Yale Guest”) is available in all academic and residential buildings on campus, as well as in certain public outdoor spaces.
