Student offices, phones, mailboxes, etc.

Information about student office space, mail boxes, copy accounts, telephones, pets, bicycles, etc.

Student Office Space


Limited student office and study space is available in all of our buildings. Students working on the D.F.E.S. or Ph.D. degree are given first priority on a study space and are assigned by the Director of the Doctoral Program based on space given to that program by the F&ES Space Committee. The Space Committee will make all space use decisions after consultation with all stakeholders. Space availability requests and needs should be made to the Space Committee.

Copy Accounts


Student copy machines at F&ES buildings, as well as many other locations throughout the university, are set up with the Pharos Uniprint System. Instructions for setting up accounts are at each location. Malfunctions should be reported to the Facilities Office at Sage Hall, Room 3E or call 2-2099. The Library in Sage Hall has a copier that accepts cash.

Mail/Mailboxes

All Master's student mail coming to the School goes to Sage Hall. The appropriate address is Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, 205 Prospect Street, New Haven, Connecticut 06511. All Doctoral student mail coming to the School goes to 210 Prospect Street. While individual mailfolders are provided for each student, the use of the school address for the receipt of personal and business correspondence is discouraged. Mail is not forwarded during vacation or after graduation. If you expect important mail, ask a resident friend to forward it. Do not use the School's address for receiving valuable items. Thefts have occurred in the past. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Bulletin Boards

Do not use furniture or doors for posting information or for leaving messages as tape often damages the surfaces. There is a bulletin board in the Student Mail Room in Sage Hall for student use. Please see F&ES Registrar for other bulletin board use.

Student Telephones and Faxes

The office telephones in School buildings are not available for student use unless on official business for a faculty member or a special authorized project. Student telephones for campus and local calls are maintained in each building: Sage, ground floor (432-5112), in the room directly across from the kitchen and a fax in the computer room on the third floor (432-5043); Greeley Lab hallway (432-5153), Marsh Hall (432-5126), 301 Prospect Street (432-5738), 230 Prospect Street (432-0026), and 380 Edwards Street (432-5556). All incoming calls should be received on these phones.

This system is dependent upon students relaying messages for other students. Please be sure to post messages or, at Sage, see that they get to the student's mailbox.

Please do not use the School office numbers for your private or business purposes except in the case of an emergency.

Pets 4-footed and 2-wheeled

PETS of any variety (walking, flying, swimming, or slithering), may not be brought into any of the buildings at any time.

MOTORCYCLES are never to be brought inside any building. (Fire Marshall requirements dictate this. The danger is obvious.)

BICYCLES should be left in the bicycles racks outside building and may not be parked or stored inside any of the School buildings in halls, closets or locked against railings. Bicycles should always be locked and registered with campus police (call 432-4400 for information).

ROLLERBLADES may not be worn inside any building.

Equipment Use

Students must secure permission to operate in the laboratories of individual faculty members. Equipment will not be transferred from one laboratory to another without specific permission. Common rooms such as darkrooms, shops and greenhouses, will be treated with appropriate community responsibility.

Calculating machines, CRTS and printers, growth chambers, saws, and other school instruments and equipment should be handled intelligently and with respect. If you are not familiar with a piece of equipment, please do not use it until you receive appropriate instructions.

Report at once to the instructor in charge and to Dom Scalia, Facilities Supervisor 432-2099, all accidents and/or breakdowns involving school equipment. Damage to the building or equipment due to carelessness or negligence of a student will be charged to him or her.

School Vans

The School has five vans available for School use. The vehicles are used primarily by the faculty of the School in its program of instruction and research. Student uses for individual research projects require permission of a faculty member. You must complete a driver awareness course and obtain a Yale license to drive any Yale vehicle. Contact Jen Liner, 2-5155, for van reservations.
