Yeshiva University students, faculty, and staff with a YU-supplied email address are automatically pre-registered in the AlertFind system. This means that if you take no further action all alerts will be sent to your YU email address. But as we’ve said before, email is not always the most immediate (or available) way to communicate.

In order to receive alerts in the most timely manner possible, it is strongly recommended that you register your cell phone or SMS (short message service) or texting device with the service. In fact, if your cell phone is text-ready, you should register its number under “cell phone” as well as registering its number under SMS. You can register multiple devices, and then be notified at different locations and/or different devices simultaneously.

To learn how to register your devices, please look at the how-to video or download the AlertFind Manual PDF.

If You Don't Have a YU.EDU Email Address

If you do not have a YU-supplied email address, you will need to Create Account. It may take up to a week to propagate your information. Once your account is set up, you’ll be notified by email so that you can then register your communication preferences.

Please Note: You can only register for a new account from an on-campus computer. You must have an email address to register for an account. If you do not have one you may sign up for a free email address from an online provider such as MSN, Google, or AOL. Most cell phones have an email address based on your phone number that you can use to register. Contact your carrier for further details.

Managing Your Account

To manage your communication preferences just Log In at anytime. You may manage your preferences from any location.

If You Leave YU

If you are a graduating student or a faculty or staff member leaving YU’s employ, please be sure to log in to your account and delete all of your contact information. This will ensure that you no longer receive irrelevant notifications. Only you are able to do this.
