Accessing Your Alumni Benefits

As a graduate of Lesley University, you are eligible for several benefits, including discounts on car insurance and rentals, pet insurance, Lesley graduate tuition, and more. You can also use some of our facilities—including the fitness center, Career Resource Center, and the library—as well as attend our events.

Getting Started

Since many of the benefits require that you have a Lesley email address or an Alumni ID card, we recommend you start there. Both are free and easy to get.

Activate Your Lesley Email Account

A Lesley email address makes it possible for you to access certain discounts. Learn how to get a Lesley Alumni Email account.

    If you graduated in 1987 or before, contact the Alumni Relations Office at alumni@lesley.edu to request an email account and we'll guide you through the process.

    If you graduated in 1988 or later:

    1. Email Information Technology at it@lesley.edu, requesting an alumni email address. Include your full name, graduation year, and the program you completed.
    2. They will respond with details on how to log in.

    Get Your Alumni ID Card

    You'll need an ID card to access our facilities, such as our libraries and fitness center. Once our campus has reopened, per COVID-19 physical distancing guidelines, we'll resume printing Alumni ID cards.

    1. Come to our Public Safety Office at 34 Mellen Street, Cambridge (Doble Campus) with a government-issued ID. The Office is open 24/7 and you do not need an appointment. 
    2. The Public Safety Office will print your ID. We do not mail IDs for security reasons.
    3. If you graduated in 1987 or before, because these years predate our electronic database system, contact the Alumni Relations Office at alumni@lesley.edu to request an ID before coming to campus. 
    4. If you can't come to campus, contact the Alumni Relations Office at alumni@lesley.edu.

    Now that you have your Lesley email address and Lesley Alumni ID card, you can start to enjoy these benefits.
