Welcome to GLASS, Yale's Global Learner Access Support System. This system simplifies the enrollment process for non-credit programming at Yale, connecting professional and lifelong learners to world-class education. As a learner, you can update your preferences, manage applications, access resources, and track your academic progress - all in one platform.
GLASS is available to any public learner to sign up and learn more.
In order to enjoy a secure experience, all users are required to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) when logging in to GLASS. You will have the option to set up MFA using a mobile number or authentication app. Please contact onlineprograms@yale.edu with any questions or difficulties regarding MFA.
Enter your username (email) and password and click Log in.
Select Use Verification codes sent via SMS.
Click Continue.
Select your Country/Territory code and enter your Mobile Phone Number.
Click Register.
You will receive a text message with a temporary verification code. Enter the code and click Verify.
Option 2: Authentication App
Before you log in to GLASS:
On your mobile device (phone or tablet), open or install an authenticator app. We recommend Duo Mobile, which is available from the App Store or Google Play. However, you may use any equivalent authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.).
Open the app and select the option to add a new account. Depending on your app, you may see "Add Account" or "+".
When prompted, select the option to use a QR code.
Enter your username (email) and password and click Log in.
Select Use verification codes from an authenticator app.
Click Continue.
You will see a QR code.
Use the authenticator app on your mobile device to scan the QR code. Note: You must scan the QR code using the authenticator app. Do not use your regular camera app.
In your authenticator app, continue through the prompts to display your verification code. You may need to tap your account to display the code.
Enter the verification code into the GLASS portal exactly as it appears on your app. The code typically expires every 30 seconds, so be sure that you enter the active code.
Click Connect.
If prompted, enter the verification code again.
IMPORTANT: Each time you log in to GLASS, you will need to open the same authenticator app to get the active verification code. Be sure to keep the authenticator app accessible and do not remove it from your phone.
After you have set up MFA on your account, you will need to use your verification method each time you log in to GLASS.
If you would like to update your authentication method or if you no longer have access to the authentication app connected to your GLASS account, please contact onlineprograms@yale.edu for assistance.
If you are accepted into a program, you will be required to complete an intent to enroll form to accept or decline your offer of admission.
In the comments area, please let us know why you have decided to defer or decline your enrollment.

Troubleshooting
If you do not see Canvas Login available or if you do not see your Canvas course after logging in, then you have not been enrolled in a Canvas course, or your program has not started yet.
If you reach the screen below after clicking Canvas Login, then your Canvas account may still be processing. If you just recently connected your authentication app, please wait at least six hours before trying again. Otherwise, please contact us for assistance.
