YUConnect is York’s new online system for getting involved and tracking your out-of-the-classroom experience in a revolutionary way. It gives students a directory to find clubs and to match opportunities to their self-selected interests. YUConnect is also a platform for creating a record of a student’s extra and co-curricular involvement throughout their time at York.

Initially targeted and accessible to those who run and are members of York’s 350+ Recognized Student Organizations as well as Student Community & Leadership Development’s numerous peer groups, YUConnect provides a number of benefits:

Students

1. Find campus resources and involvement opportunities that match your interests

2. Join organizations and sign-up to participate in events and programs

3. Document your involvement and learning outside of the classroom through a co-curricular record

Student Organization Leaders

1. Promote events and communicate with current and prospective members

2. Create organization specific pages that link and push to social media

3. One stop shop for student organization processes and membership management
