We recommend that you print out these instructions prior to entering the community.

To register for the WCAA Alumnae Connections Community

1. Click here to enter the WCAA Alumnae Connections Community.

2. Click on the "Click Here to Register Now!" link.

5. Step 2 - Click on your name and class year in the list of eligible members.

6. Step 3 - Enter your college ID number to confirm your identity.
* To find your college ID number, look at the mailing label on the back of your Wellesley magazine or on any other mail sent to you from the College.

On the top of the label, you will find your ID number; it should appear as AXXXXXXXX, an A followed by an eight-digit number. If your ID number is only 5, 6, or 7 digits long, add zeros to the beginning of it to make a total of eight digits.

If you cannot locate your ID number, e-mail webdirector@alum.wellesley.edu or call 781-283-2331 to request it.

7. Click the "Validate" button.

8. Step 4 - Proceed with your registration by choosing a user ID and password. Note: Choose your user ID carefully! It will become the first part of your permanent e-mail address.
