How to Add a Visitor/Scholar

Login to ISD using your User Name and new password. (See Managing Your Account for account information.) In the left-hand column click on add visitor and begin the data entry. Enter the required information noting the following details:

Basic Information:

  • Enter the scholar’s name as it appears on the passport.
  • The Campus ID should be left blank.
  • For Campus select Yale University.
  • For Department, select your Yale department from the pull down menu.

Login Information:

Enter the scholar’s e-mail address and create a User Name.

It is best to use the scholar’s NetID as a User Name whenever possible.

If the NetID is not available at this time, you can create any User Name. It’s a good practice to make a User Name that is easily recalled by you and the scholar—such as first initial, last name, and department/school acronym (jsmithSOM). This User Name will be used for the duration of the scholar’s interactions with ISD and cannot be changed.
