On Campus Services
Services for Alumni Visitors with Special Needs
The AYA strives to make its alumni programs as accessible as possible to all alumni. Because individual needs vary and because we wish to respect personal preferences, AYA staff work with alumni on a case-by-case basis to identify the ways in which we can assist with those needs and accommodate them whenever and wherever possible. For more information, click here.
Yale Terms for Alumni
Alumni and their spouses can audit a course in Yale College. It is available only to degree-holding alumni and their spouses (no parents, e.g.) and includes library borrowing privileges during semester. If you have any questions, please contact Judith Cushingham at judith.cushingham@yale.edu. For information and application forms, click here.
Library Borrowing Privileges
Alumni are given access to the library stacks (without borrowing privileges) free of charge for 30 days out of the year. Borrowing privileges are available for $15 per month or $150 per year.
Lectures

Museums
Yale has four museums: the Yale University Art Gallery, Yale Center for British Art, Peabody Museum of Natural History, and the Collection of Musical Instruments(432-0822).
Concerts
The School of Music regularly features concerts and recitals performed by students, faculty, and guest performers. Yale also has a great number of student singing groups, the Glee Club, the Yale Symphony Orchestra, and other student bands which hold concerts open to the public. Yale venues such as Woolsey Hall and Battell Chapel are often used for concerts by non-Yale groups such as the New Haven Symphony Orchestra.

Student Publications
The Yale Daily News, the Yale Herald and dozens of other student publications are available on campus. Some of the publications (particularly the two newspapers) are also available online.
Other Campus Treats
Physical proximity to the campus provides other socially and intellectually engaging opportunities. These include campus tours, guided Spring walks which highlight the flora of the campus, dining at Mory's (for members), listening to WYBC, the student-run radio station (94.3 on your FM dial), and an ongoing, if informal, opportunity to interact with Yale students, faculty, and staff.
