I. YALE COLLEgE
Yale College, founded in 1701, is a coeducational undergraduate institution offering instruction in the liberal arts and sciences to about 5,200 students. The College is the oldest and the largest school of the University, which also comprises the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and ten professional schools.

AdVISINg
What students ultimately derive from four years at Yale depends in large measure on careful planning of a program of study. It would be imprudent for beginning students to map out a fixed schedule of courses for the next eight terms. Yet it is important that they think ahead, and make their plans while keeping in mind the principles outlined in this bulletin. Yale College does not prescribe a program of study, believing that students who select their courses are inevitably more engaged in thema first precondition for serious learning. As students shape their educational goals, they should seek informed advice. The best advising comes when students and faculty members develop relationships out of shared intellectual interests. For incoming students, who have not yet formed such relationships, Yale College furnishes a special constellation of advising revolving around the residential college dean. Representatives from academic departments, the Health Professions Advisory Board, Undergraduate Career Services, and the Center for International Experience offer presentations to freshmen during their first days at college. Incoming students also confer with individual faculty advisers, who can listen to students interests, aims, and concerns and offer general guidance. Advisers do not mandate a particular set of courses, as the responsibility for choosing a program is the students, but each student should make use of all the advice available in order to plan the most effective program.
Distributional Requirements
The distributional requirements, described below, are intended to assure that all graduates of Yale College have an acquaintance with a broad variety of fields of inquiry and approaches to knowledge. These requirements are the only specific rules limiting the selection of courses outside a students major program. By themselves, the distributional requirements constitute a minimal education, not a complete one, and represent the least that an educated person should seek to know. They are to be embraced as starting points, not goals.

civilizations, ancient and modern, gives students insight into the experiences of others and informs critical examination of their own culture. Those who create or perform works of art experience firsthand the joy and discipline of artistic expression. By rigorously and systematically examining the value and purpose of all that surrounds them, students of the humanities and arts can acquire essential preparation for many different kinds of careers. But independently of any particular application, study of these subjects fosters understanding of, and delight in, the reach and sweep of the human spirit. Area requirement in the sciences (two course credits) Acquiring a broad view of what science is, what it has achieved, and what it might continue to achieve is an essential component of a college education. Close study of a science develops critical faculties that educated citizens need. These include an ability to evaluate the opinions of experts, to distinguish special pleading and demagoguery from responsible science, and to realize which things are known and which unknownwhich are knowable and which unknowableto science. The theoretical inquiry, experimental analysis, and firsthand problem solving inseparable from studying a science give rise to new modes of thought. To know science is to appreciate a thousand intricacies in nature and the universe, which are hidden from casual observation but which, once revealed, lend richness to everyday life. Area requirement in the social sciences (two course credits) Insights attained through the social sciences take on a critical significance at a time when the worlds population is increasing rapidly and diverse cultures are coming into closer contact and sometimes into conflict. One major field of inquiry in the social sciences is international and area studies. Those who have been educated in the United States ought especially to acquire knowledge of cultures outside North America and western Europe, as well as broaden their understanding of the societies they know. Questions of class, gender, and identity are also central to work in the social sciences, whose methods test for connections between the familiar and the exotic, the traditional and the contemporary, the individual and the group, the predicted result and the anomalous outcome. Social science theories propose explanations for the entire range of human phenomena, from governments and economies to social organizations, communicative systems, cultural practices, and individual psychology. Skills requirement in foreign language (at least one course, depending on preparation) The study of languages has long been one of the distinctive and defining features of a liberal arts education, and in the world of the twenty-first century, knowledge of more than one language is increasingly important. The benefits of language study include enhanced understanding of how languages work, often resulting in heightened sophistication in the use of ones own language; unmediated access to texts otherwise available only in translation, or not at all; and the ability to recognize and cross cultural barriers. All Yale College students are required to engage in study of a foreign language, regardless of the level of proficiency at the time of matriculation. Depending on their preparation, students take one, two, or three terms of foreign language study to fulfill the distributional requirement. Students may complete an approved study abroad program in lieu of intermediate or advanced language study at Yale. Details of the foreign language distributional requirement are listed under Distributional Requirements in chapter II, section A.
20
Skills requirement in quantitative reasoning (two course credits) The mental rigor resulting from quantitative study has been celebrated since ancient times, and applications of quantitative methods have proven critical to many different disciplines. Mathematics and statistics are basic tools for the natural and the social sciences, and they have become useful in many of the humanities as well. Information technology and the rigorous dissection of logical arguments in any discipline depend on algorithms and formal logical constructs. An educated person must be able to use quantitative information to make, understand, and evaluate arguments. Many quantitative reasoning courses are taught through the departments of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. Such courses may also be found in Architecture, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, Environmental Studies, Geology and Geophysics, Global Affairs, Linguistics, Operations Research, Philosophy, Physics, and Psychology. Skills requirement in writing (two course credits) The ability to write well is one of the hallmarks of a liberal education and is indispensable to advanced research in most disciplines. As students strengthen their writing skills, they develop intellectual practices that distinguish active from passive learners. The English department in particular offers many courses that focus on writing clearly and cogently, and courses in other departments stress writing skills within the context of their disciplines. Over 150 courses, spanning approximately 40 different academic programs, give special attention to writing. Such courses, designated WR in this bulletin, do not necessarily require more writing than other courses; rather, they provide more help with writing assignments. Some characteristics of WR courses include writing to discover ideas, learning from model essays, detailed feedback, and reviewing writing in small groups.
Major Programs
All candidates for a bachelors degree in Yale College must elect one of the major programs listed at the beginning of chapter III. The requirements for a major are described in general terms in the sections below, and in more detail preceding the course listings of each department or program in chapter III. Students plan a schedule of courses in their major in consultation with a representative of the department or program concerned, and must secure the consultants written approval. Students should acquaint themselves fully with all the requirements of the major they plan to enter, considering not only the choice of courses in the current term but also the plan of their entire work in the last two or three years in college. Students seeking the B.S. or the B.A. degree with a major in science are expected to declare their majors at the beginning of sophomore year, although a student who has completed the prerequisites may elect a science major later. Sophomores interested in majoring in science should have their schedules approved by the director of undergraduate studies or the adviser designated by the department. Students seeking the B.A. degree with a major in a field other than a science typically declare their major at the beginning of the junior year. In the sophomore year these students schedules are signed by a sophomore adviser, chosen by the student, with whom the program has been discussed.

SELECTION OF A mAJOR
In designing a program of study, the student ought to plan for depth of concentration as well as breadth of scope. To study a subject in depth can be one of the most rewarding and energizing of human experiences, and can form the basis of the interests and occupations of a lifetime. Knowledge advances by specialization, and one can gain some of the excitement of discovery by pressing toward the outer limits of what is known in a particular field. Intense study of a seemingly narrow area of investigation may disclose ramifications and connections that alter perspectives on other subjects. Such study also sharpens judgment and acquaints a person with processes by which new truths can be found. In order to gain exposure to this kind of experience, students must elect and complete a major, that is, the subject in which they will work more intensively than in any other. A list of the more than seventy possible majors in Yale College is given at the beginning of chapter III. The department or program concerned sets the requirements for each major, which are explained in chapter III. Some students will have made a tentative choice of a major before entering college. Others will have settled on a general areafor example, the natural sciences or the humanitieswithout being certain of the specific department or program of their major. Still others will be completely undecided. Many students who arrive with their minds made up change them after a year or two. Even students who feel certain of their choices should keep open the possibility of a change. In selecting courses during their first two years, students should bear in mind not only the distributional requirements described above, but also the need for some exploration of the subjects to which they feel drawn.
22
International Experience
While students can be introduced to the dynamics of a globalizing world through the course offerings at Yale, experience abroad is an invaluable complement to academic training. Such experience may include course work at foreign universities, intensive language training, directed research, independent projects, internships, laboratory work, and volunteer service. Yale College provides a variety of international opportunities during term time, summers, and post-graduation, as well as a large and growing number of fellowships to support students abroad. Students may seek advice about summer or term-time study abroad and fellowship funding from the Center for International Experience, www.yale.edu/yalecollege/international. Summer courses abroad are offered by Yale Summer Session, www.yale.edu/summer, and by eligible outside programs through Summer Abroad, www.yale.edu/yalecollege/international/ opportunities/type/study/yta_summer. Advice about internships abroad is available from
Yale College
23
Undergraduate Career Services, ucs.yalecollege.yale.edu. Students may search for all grants and fellowships at Yale that support international activities at studentgrants.yale.edu. Students on financial aid may be eligible for summer funding through the International Summer Award program, www.yale.edu/yalecollege/international/funding/isa.
YALE-IN-LONdON
The Yale-in-London program offers spring-term courses in British culture and society at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, located in central London. The program is open to undergraduates, carries full Yale course credit, and counts as a term of enrollment. Instruction is designed to take advantage of the cultural resources of London and its environs, with regular field trips (including overnight stays) to museums, historic houses, and other sites of interest. Accommodations are provided for students in shared apartments. Further information is available at ycba.yale.edu/education/edu_yil.html, or from the Yale-in-London office at the Yale Center for British Art, or by e-mail to yaleinlondon@yale.edu.

juniors, and, in some cases, first-term seniors, and to Peking University Yuanpei College students. The program accepts students from all majors for the fall or spring term or for the academic year. A term at Peking University carries full Yale course credit and counts as a term of enrollment. No prior Chinese language knowledge is necessary for Yale participants, although each student is required to take a Chinese language course at the appropriate level while in the program. All other courses, in a variety of disciplines, are taught in English by Yale and Peking University faculty members. Students with advanced proficiency in Chinese may take courses offered in Chinese for Peking University students. Students from both universities live as roommates in a residence hall on the Peking University campus.

There are no auditing privileges in Yale Summer Session. Further information is available from the Yale Summer Session office or at www.yale.edu/summer.
Special Programs
dIRECTEd STUdIES
Directed Studies is a selective freshman interdisciplinary program in Western civilization. Students in Directed Studies take three yearlong coursesLiterature, Philosophy, and Historical and Political Thoughtin which they read central works of the Western tradition. One hundred twenty-five freshmen are admitted to the program each year. The Freshman Web site (yalecollege.yale.edu/content/directed-studies-ds) describes the program and explains the application procedure. Additional information is available at www.yale.edu/directedstudies.

structures. Courses arise through the joint initiative of students and members of the faculty who are fellows of the residential colleges. The instructors for the seminar program are drawn in part from the faculty of Yale College, the professional schools, and other academic institutions in the New York and New England areas. Individuals outside academic life may also serve as instructors: writers, artists, participants in government and the public sector, and experts from the arts and the media. The college seminars encourage innovation and experimentation within the framework of academic excellence that characterizes the Yale curriculum. Most of the seminars in the Residential College Seminar program are supported by grants from the Old Dominion Foundation.

EXpOSITORY WRITINg
The Yale College Writing Center supports a range of courses and tutoring services to help undergraduates improve their writing. The English department offers several courses specifically designed to prepare students for writing throughout the University, and other departments in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences complement this offering with courses (designated WR in chapter III of this bulletin) that give special attention to the conventions and expectations of writing in particular disciplines. Beyond the regular departmental offerings, the Writing Center provides several ways for students to get help with writing. The most important of these is the presence of a Writing Tutor in each residential college. Tutors meet with students on a one-to-one basis to discuss rough drafts of work in progress, research techniques, revision strategies, or other matters relevant to effective writing. Tutors can help with any writing project: senior essays, course papers, graduate school and fellowship applications, or anything intended for publication. The Writing Partners, another resource, are undergraduate and graduate
28
students who offer drop-in help to students at any stage of writing. Finally, the Writing Center Web site offers information on using sources effectively and avoiding plagiarism. The Yale College Writing Center is maintained through the continuing support of the Bass family, the Newhouse Foundation, and other foundations. Its mission is to encourage excellence in writing and the use of writing for learning throughout the College. More detailed information is available from the Writing Center Web site at writing.yalecollege.yale.edu.

instructor and of the director of graduate studies of the department in which the course is offered. A limited number of students of demonstrated ability may undertake graduate work that will qualify them for the simultaneous award of the bachelors and masters degrees at the end of their senior year. Students apply to this program through their director of undergraduate studies. Details of the requirements are listed in chapter II, section K.
Honors
gENERAL hONORS
The bachelors degree cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude is awarded at graduation on the basis of a students general performance in courses taken at Yale. At Commencement, General Honors are awarded to no more than 30 percent of the class. The bachelors degree is awarded summa cum laude to no more than the top 5 percent of the graduating class, magna cum laude to no more than the next 10 percent of the graduating class, cum laude to no more than the next 15 percent of the graduating class. Eligibility for General Honors is based on the grade point average (GPA) earned in courses taken only at Yale, with letter grades carrying the following values: A A B+ B 4.00 3.67 3.33 3.00 B C+ C C 2.67 2.33 2.00 1.67 D+ D D F 1.33 1.00 0.67 0.00
Marks of CR in courses taken on a Credit/D/Fail basis are not included in the calculation of grade point averages. Marks of W, for Withdrawal, carry no course credit, and do not figure in a grade point average.

dISTRIBUTIONAL REqUIREmENTS
All students in Yale College must fulfill distributional requirements in order to qualify for the bachelors degree. For a general introduction to the distributional requirements and a definition of the disciplinary areas and skills categories, refer to chapter I. 1. Distributional requirements for the freshman, sophomore, and junior years Students must partially fulfill the distributional requirements during the freshman, sophomore, and junior years in order to be eligible for promotion. Distributional requirements for the freshman year: Students must have enrolled for at least one course credit in two skills categories by the end of the second term of enrollment in order to be eligible for promotion to sophomore standing. They may elect no more than four course credits in a single department, and no more than six course credits in a single disciplinary area, except that a student taking a laboratory course may elect as many as seven course credits in the sciences. Distributional requirements for the sophomore year: Students must have enrolled for at least one course credit in each of the three disciplinary areas and for at least one course credit in each of the three skills categories by the end of the fourth term of enrollment in order to be eligible for promotion to junior standing. Distributional requirements for the junior year: Students must have completed all of their skills requirements by the end of the sixth term of enrollment in order to be eligible for promotion to senior standing.

2. Multiple distributional designations Although some courses may carry more than one distributional designation, a single course may be applied to only one distributional requirement. For example, if a course is designated both HU and SO in chapter III of this bulletin, it may be applied toward either the humanities and arts requirement or the social science requirement, but not both. Similarly, if a course is designated QR and SC, it may be applied toward either the quantitative reasoning requirement or the science requirement, but not both. A course with multiple distributional designations, once applied toward one distributional requirement, may subsequently be applied toward a different distributional requirement. During the summer after each academic year, the Registrars Office optimizes the use of each students completed courses toward fulfillment of the distributional requirements. 3. Foreign language distributional requirement All students are required to engage in the study of a foreign language while enrolled in Yale College. The most common paths to fulfillment of the foreign language distributional requirement are illustrated in the chart on the previous page. Students who matriculate at Yale with no previous foreign language training must complete three terms of instruction in a single foreign language. This requirement is fulfilled by the completion of courses designated L1, L2, and L3 in chapter III of this bulletin. Students who have taken the Advanced Placement examination in French, German, or Spanish and who present scores of 5, or who have taken the Advanced Placement examination in Latin and who present scores of 4 or 5, are recognized as having completed the intermediate level of study. Scores of 6 or 7 on the International Baccalaureate Advanced-Level examination are also accepted as evidence of intermediate-level accomplishment. Students at this level fulfill the language distributional requirement by completing one course designated L5 in chapter III of this bulletin. Alternatively, they may successfully complete instruction in a different foreign language through the level designated L2. Students who have studied a foreign language before matriculating at Yale but who have not achieved a score of 5 on the Advanced Placement test in French, German, or Spanish, or a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement test in Latin, must take a placement test offered by the appropriate language department. Dates and times of placement tests are given in the Calendar for the Opening Days of College and on the Web at www.cls.yale.edu. The departmental test determines whether students place into the first, second, third, or fourth term of language study (courses designated L1, L2, L3, or L4 in chapter III of this bulletin), or whether they qualify for language courses beyond the fourth term of study (L5). Students who place into the first term of a foreign language must complete three terms of instruction in that language, designated L1, L2, and L3 in chapter III of this bulletin. Students who matriculate at Yale able to place into the second term of a foreign language must successfully complete three terms of instruction in that language, designated L2, L3, and L4 in chapter III of this bulletin. Alternatively, they may successfully complete instruction in a different foreign language through the level designated L3. Students who matriculate at Yale able to place into the third term of a foreign language must successfully complete two terms of instruction in that language, designated
34
L3 and L4 in chapter III of this bulletin. Alternatively, they may successfully complete instruction in a different foreign language through the level designated L3. Students who matriculate at Yale able to place into the fourth term of a foreign language must successfully complete one term of instruction in that language, designated L4 in chapter III of this bulletin. Alternatively, they may successfully complete instruction in a different foreign language through the level designated L3. Students who matriculate at Yale able to place into the fifth term of a foreign language must successfully complete one term of instruction in that language, designated L5 in chapter III of this bulletin. Alternatively, they may successfully complete instruction in a different foreign language through the level designated L2. Students whose secondary school transcript shows that the language of instruction was other than English may fulfill the foreign language requirement by successfully completing ENGL 114, 120, or 450. Alternatively, students in this category may fulfill the requirement by successfully completing instruction in a third language, neither English nor the language of their secondary school instruction, through the level designated L2. In order to promote firsthand experience in foreign cultures and the learning of language in real-world settings, students are permitted to apply toward the satisfaction of the foreign language requirement the completion of an approved study abroad program in a foreign-language-speaking setting if they have first completed or placed out of a language course designated L2 in chapter III. Students seeking to undertake study at another institution or program for this purpose must consult the relevant director of undergraduate studies in advance of their proposed study for advice about appropriate programs and courses, and for information about the approval process. (See section O, Credit from Other Universities.) Study abroad may be used in place of L1 and L2 courses only if it is part of a Yale College program, such as Yale Summer Session or the Peking UniversityYale University Joint Undergraduate Program. Study abroad opportunities are described in chapter I under the heading International Experience. Intensive language courses provide the equivalent of a full year of instruction in a single term. A course designated L1L2 in chapter III of this bulletin fulfills both the L1 and the L2 levels of the foreign language distributional requirement. Similarly, a course designated L3L4 satisfies both the L3 and the L4 levels. Not all of the languages offered in Yale College are offered at all levels, and it may not be possible to fulfill the language requirement in some of them. Languages currently offered in Yale College are Akkadian, Arabic, Chinese, Coptic, Czech, Dutch, hieroglyphic Egyptian, French, German, ancient Greek, modern Greek, biblical Hebrew, modern Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, isiZulu, Italian, Japanese, Kiswahili, Korean, Latin, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Sanskrit, Spanish, Syriac, Tamil, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Yorb. Students wishing to fulfill the foreign language requirement in a less commonly taught language should consult the director of undergraduate studies in the relevant department to verify that the appropriate level of study will be offered. Students who have intermediate- or higher-level proficiency in a language other than those listed here (including American Sign Language) should consult the appropriate
Academic Regulations
35
director of undergraduate studies or the director of the Center for Language Study to arrange for a placement examination. Students who, for medical reasons, are not able to complete the language requirement may petition the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing for a waiver of the requirement. In granting such a waiver, the committee will normally require that a student complete four course credits in the study of a specific non-English-speaking culture. 4. Courses taken on the Credit/D/Fail basis A student may not apply any course credit earned on the Credit/D/Fail basis toward satisfaction of the distributional requirements for the junior year nor for the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree. 5. Independent study courses A student may not apply any course credit earned through independent study courses toward satisfaction of any of the distributional requirements. 6. Acceleration credits Acceleration credits may not be employed to satisfy the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree, nor may they be employed to meet the distributional requirements for the freshman, sophomore, or junior years. 7. Course credit earned at Yale before matriculation Course credit earned at Yale before a students matriculation, either at Yale Summer Session or in the Nondegree Students program while the student was enrolled as a secondary school student in the New Haven area, may be applied to the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree and to those for the sophomore and junior years, but it may not be applied to the distributional requirements for the freshman year. 8. Courses in the graduate and professional schools It is the expectation that Yale College students, including candidates for the simultaneous award of the bachelors and masters degrees, will fulfill their distributional requirements in courses taken in Yale College. Credit earned in a course offered in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences or in one of the professional schools of the University may be applied toward the distributional requirements only if the course instructor has secured, in advance of the term in which the course will be given, approval from Yale College. Instructors interested in making such an advance arrangement can contact the Dean of Academic Affairs to be directed to the appropriate authority for such approval. 9. Course credit from outside Yale Course credit earned at another university may be applied toward the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree and to those for the sophomore and junior years whether or not it is counted toward the 36-coursecredit requirement for graduation. Credit from outside Yale may not be applied toward the distributional requirements for the freshman year. See section O, Credit from Other Universities. Note particularly that Yale does not award course credit or distributional credit for courses completed at another college or university before the student graduated from secondary school. 10. Major programs Courses taken in fulfillment of a students major requirements may be applied toward satisfaction of the distributional requirements for the freshman, sophomore, and junior years and toward the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree.
36
11. Permission for a partial waiver of the distributional requirements for the freshman year If, with the permission of the residential college dean, a freshman enrolls in a program of study for the first two terms of enrollment worth more than nine course credits, the dean may waive the year limit on the number of course credits that a student may elect in a single department or disciplinary area. Under no circumstances may a student be promoted to sophomore standing without having enrolled for at least one course credit in two skills categories (foreign language, quantitative reasoning, writing). 12. Permission to postpone fulfillment of the distributional requirements for the sophomore year A student may petition the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing for permission to fulfill the distributional requirements for the sophomore year in the fifth term of enrollment. Such a petition must be filed no later than the date of midterm of the fourth term of enrollment; it should explain the sound academic reasons why these requirements cannot be satisfied within four terms of enrollment and give an exact description of how they shall be fulfilled in the fifth term. Students who have not fulfilled the distributional requirements for the sophomore year by the end of the fourth term of enrollment and who have not been granted permission by the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing to postpone their fulfillment will normally not be promoted to junior standing. 13. Permission to postpone fulfillment of the distributional requirements for the junior year In exceptional circumstances, a student may petition the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing for permission to fulfill the distributional requirements for the junior year in the seventh term of enrollment. Such a petition, which must include the written support of the residential college dean and, where applicable, that of the director of undergraduate studies in the students major, should be filed no later than the date on which the students course schedule is due in the sixth term of enrollment; in no case will a petition be accepted later than the date of midterm in the sixth term of enrollment. It should explain the sound academic reasons why these requirements cannot be satisfied within six terms of enrollment and give an exact description of how they shall be fulfilled in the seventh term. Students who have not fulfilled the distributional requirements for the junior year by the end of the sixth term of enrollment and who have not been granted permission by the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing to postpone their fulfillment will normally not be promoted to senior standing.
mAJOR REqUIREmENTS
The requirements of the various major programs are given in chapter III. Every major program includes a senior requirement, which may take the form of a senior essay, a senior project, or a senior departmental examination.
Academic Regulations
37
on a Year or Term Abroad may not be applied to acceleration by the early accumulation of thirty-six course credits all earned at Yale: see section P, Acceleration Policies. (Attendance at the summer program at the Paul Mellon Centre in London or Yale Summer Session does not constitute a term of enrollment in Yale College.) In exceptional circumstances, a student may petition the Yale College Committee on Honors and Academic Standing for permission to enroll for an additional term. Such a petition should be made no later than the beginning of a students seventh term of enrollment; it should describe precisely, giving detailed information on specific courses, why it is impossible for the student to complete the requirements for a bachelors degree within eight terms; and it should be accompanied by detailed, informative letters of endorsement from the students director of undergraduate studies and residential college dean. For a student to exceed eight terms of enrollment usually means that another student cannot be admitted to Yale; a petition for a ninth term will therefore be approved only in extraordinary circumstances. The Committee on Honors and Academic Standing cannot grant permission for a ninth term in order for a student to undertake an optional arrangement not necessary for the acquisition of a bachelors degree, such as, for example, the completion of two majors, or enrollment in the Program for the Simultaneous Award of the Bachelors and Masters Degrees, or completion of the entrance requirements for graduate or professional school. A student given permission to enroll for a ninth term is not eligible for scholarship assistance from Yale, although other forms of financial aid may be available (see Financial Aid Regulations in the Yale College online publication Undergraduate Regulations). Graduation in fewer than eight terms of enrollment is possible: see section P, Acceleration Policies. Under no circumstances may a student graduate in fewer than six terms of enrollment, unless the student was admitted by transfer from another college or university. Transfer students should consult section L, Transfer Students.
B. Grades
LETTER gRAdES
The letter grades in Yale College are as follows: A Excellent A B+ B Good B C+ C Satisfactory C D+ D Passing D F Fail
38
CREdIT/d/FAIL OpTION
In order to encourage academic exploration and to promote diversity in students programs, the Yale College Faculty has provided that students may elect a certain number of courses on a Credit/D/Fail basis. 1. Reporting of grades In all courses (except for a few professional school courses), instructors report letter grades for all students. If the student has chosen the Credit/D/Fail option in a course, the registrar converts grades of A, A, B+, B, B, C+, C, and C into the notation CR, which is entered on the students transcript. Grades of D+, D, D, and F are entered on the transcript as reported. A student may not be required to disclose to the instructor of a course whether the student has enrolled in the course for a letter grade or under the Credit/D/Fail option. 2. Eligibility All courses offered in Yale College during the fall and spring terms are available for election under the Credit/D/Fail option. Courses in Yale Summer Session may not be taken under the Credit/D/Fail option. 3. Total number of courses A student may offer as many as four course credits earned on the Credit/D/Fail basis toward the bachelors degree. 4. Number of courses in a term As many as two credits may be elected under the Credit/D/Fail option in a term; thus in an academic year a student may earn as many as four credits on the Credit/D/Fail option. In each term, a student must elect at least two courses, representing at least two course credits, for letter grades. 5. Distributional requirements A student may not apply any course credit earned on the Credit/D/Fail basis toward satisfaction of the distributional requirements for the junior year nor toward satisfaction of the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree. 6. Requirements of the major Program descriptions in chapter III of this bulletin specify whether or not courses taken on the Credit/D/Fail basis count toward the requirements of particular majors. 7. Credit/year only course sequences A Cr/year only course sequence may be taken under the Credit/D/Fail option for one term while the other term of the yearlong sequence is taken for a letter grade. For Cr/year only course sequences in which a student receives a separate letter grade for each of the two terms, each term will be governed by the enrollment option the student elected for that term. For Cr/year only course sequences in which a student receives the mark of SAT or NSAT for the first term and a letter grade for the second, the enrollment option that the student elects for the second term governs both terms of the course sequence; that is, students will receive either the mark of CR for both terms or a letter grade for both terms, depending on the option elected for the second term. 8. Course schedules Students must indicate on their course schedules at the beginning of a term the use they wish to make during that term of the Credit/D/Fail option. As indicated above, in a given term a student may elect as many as (but no more than) two course credits on the Credit/D/Fail basis; and a student must elect at least two courses, representing at least two course credits, for letter grades. If a student indicates on the
Academic Regulations
39
course schedule more than two course credits being taken on the Credit/D/Fail option, the registrar will record only the first two of them, in the order in which they are listed, as being taken on that basis, and the student will not be permitted to take the others on the Credit/D/Fail option. 9. Late course schedules Because a decision to employ the Credit/D/Fail option in a course must be declared at the beginning of the term on the students course schedule, and because conversion from a letter grade to the Credit/D/Fail option is not possible for students who submit their schedules on time, a student who submits the schedule after the date on which it is due may not employ the Credit/D/Fail option in any course during that term. See Enrollment in Courses in section E. The only exception to this rule may be in the case of a student who for some valid and extraordinary reason cannot submit the course schedule on time and who has the permission of the residential college dean and the registrar to submit it late. If the college dean approves, such a student may employ the Credit/D/Fail option only by submitting to the college dean by the date on which the course schedule is due (as published in the calendar at the beginning of this bulletin) a written statement specifying the course (or courses) that the student wishes to take on the Credit/D/Fail basis. 10. Registration withheld In order to employ the Credit/D/Fail option, students whose registration is being withheld by the Office of Student Financial Services or any other administrative office of the University must submit their schedules on time, before the deadline indicated on the students course schedule and listed in the calendar at the beginning of this bulletin. 11. Conversion to a letter grade Until November 4, 2011, in the fall term (two weeks after midterm), and until March 26, 2012, in the spring term (a week after the date of the resumption of classes following spring recess), a student who has elected a course on the Credit/D/Fail basis may choose to receive a letter grade in that course by filing the appropriate form in the office of the residential college dean. After these dates such conversion is not possible. If a student converts from the Credit/D/Fail option to a letter grade before the deadline, the option may not again be resumed even if the student desires to do so before the deadline. 12. Conversion from a letter grade to Credit/D/Fail A course once elected for a letter grade may not subsequently be converted to a course taken on the Credit/D/Fail basis. 13. Courses selected after the deadline A student who for any reason has been granted extraordinary permission by the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing to elect a new course after the deadline for submitting a course schedule may not employ the Credit/D/Fail option in that course. A change of level in courses in which the subject is taught in an ordered progression is not considered the election of a new course. 14. Acceleration credit Work completed under the Credit/D/Fail option cannot yield acceleration credit (see yalecollege.yale.edu/content/acceleration or appendix A of the Freshman Handbook).
40
15. Prizes and honors Marks of CR are included in the calculations for some prizes, for Distinction in the Major, and for election to Phi Beta Kappa as non-A grades, but marks of CR are not included in the calculation for General Honors (see under Honors in chapter I). 16. Courses in the graduate and professional schools Courses in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and in the professional schools of the University are not available on the Yale College Credit/D/Fail option. Some courses in certain professional schools of the University are, however, graded on a Pass/Fail basis only, and grades for undergraduates in these courses are recorded as CR or F. Such credits are counted in the total earned on the Credit/D/Fail basis that a student is permitted to offer in a term as well as the total offered toward the requirements of a bachelors degree. Marks of CR in professional school courses are included in the calculations for Distinction in the Major as non-A grades. Marks of CR in professional school courses are not included in the calculation for General Honors (see General Honors and Distinction in the Major in chapter I). 17. Independent study It is expected that course credit earned in independent study, directed reading or research, tutorial courses, or the like, will not be taken on the Credit/D/Fail basis.
Academic Regulations
41
5. Withdrawal from courses after midterm If a student enrolled in a course formally withdraws from it after midterm but before the first day of the reading period, the students transcript will record the designation W (Withdrew) for the course. The mark of W is a neutral designation indicating simply that the student has been enrolled in, but has withdrawn from, a course; while the course obviously carries no credit toward the degree, the W implies no evaluation of a students work and carries no implication whatsoever of failure. Withdrawal from a course after the deadline (December 2, 2011, in the fall term, and April 23, 2012, in the spring term) is not possible. See Withdrawal from Courses, section F. 6. Incomplete work and postponed final examinations A student who has received permission for a mark of Temporary Incomplete in a course, or who has been authorized to take a makeup final examination in a course, is allowed the specified period of time to repair the deficiency in the course. If the deficiency is not repaired by a satisfactory performance within the stipulated time, then the designation TI (Authorized Temporary Incomplete) or ABX (Authorized Absence from Final Examination) is automatically converted by the registrar to the grade of F. See Postponement of Final Examinations and Work Incomplete at the End of Term in section H. 7. Withdrawal from Yale College Whether a student withdraws from Yale College for personal, medical, academic, or disciplinary reasons, the entry placed in each case on the students transcript is the word Withdrew together with the date of the withdrawal. 8. Tracks and programs within majors A transcript may show as a students major subject only a designation approved for that purpose by the Yale College Faculty; tracks or programs within majors may not appear on transcripts. The majors approved by the faculty are listed in this bulletin at the beginning of chapter III under Majors in Yale College. 9. Distribution of grade reports The Registrars Office sends grade reports to students each term from six to eight weeks after the close of the term. At registration each year, a student is given the opportunity to declare whether his or her grades may be released to certain other parties. If the student gives permission for grades to be released to a guardian or to parents, after the fall term of that year the Registrars Office will send a grade report to them. After the spring term, the Registrars Office sends a grade report to each student at the students home address, and this report may be shared with parents if the student wishes. If a student gives permission for grades to be released to a secondary school or Alumni Schools Committee, grade reports will be furnished to them only upon specific request of the school or the committee. Upon written request of the student, the Registrars Office will also send a copy of the grade report to any additional person or agency designated by the student. 10. Early access to grade reports Early access to recorded grades is available on line to students in any Yale College course for which they have completed or actively declined to complete the online course evaluation form through the Yale University Student Information Systems. 11. Transcript orders Transcripts may be ordered either at the Registrars Office, 246 Church Street, or on the Web at www.yale.edu/sfas/registrar/index.html#transcripts. In
42
each transcript order, the charge for the first transcript is $7, with a charge of $3 for each additional transcript ordered at the same time to the same address. Each fall the registrar provides in each students registration packet, free of charge, an unofficial copy of the students academic record to date. This record may serve as a convenient aid in discussions with the students adviser of the students academic plans during the coming year.
Academic Regulations
43
1. Minimum course load A student may not enroll in a program of study worth fewer than three course credits in one term. A student enrolled for three course credits may withdraw from one course credit between midterm and the first day of the reading period, receiving the neutral designation W (Withdrew) in that course. Similarly, a student enrolled for four or more course credits may withdraw from one or more courses as described above, but at no time may any student carry a schedule of courses that will earn fewer than two course credits in a term. 2. Course loads requiring permission A three-course-credit program of study or a sixcourse-credit program of study requires the permission of the residential college dean. It is assumed that any student who requests permission to carry more than five course credits does not intend to drop any of them. 3. Seven course credits in a term A student must petition the Yale College Committee on Honors and Academic Standing for permission to take a program worth seven credits in a term. In the petition the student must explicitly state an intention to complete all the courses proposed. 4. Independent study Opportunities for independent study exist in many programs and departments under various designations: directed reading or research, individual reading or research, independent research or study, independent or special projects, individual instruction in music performance, independent, individual, or special tutorials, and the senior essay or project, among others. Note that course credit earned in such study may not be used toward fulfillment of the distributional requirements. Approval for any such particular course is given by the department or program; however, approval for an independent study course is also required from the Yale College Committee on Honors and Academic Standing if certain limits are exceeded. A student must petition the committee for permission to enroll in more than one such course credit in any one term before the senior year or in more than two such course credits in any one term during the senior year. Permission is also required for a student to enroll in more than three such course credits in the first six terms of enrollment; included in this total are any independent study courses completed in Yale Summer Session that are applied to the Yale College transcript. In the petition the student must give sound academic reasons for exceeding these limits and provide evidence that the additional work in independent study will not be done at the expense of the breadth and depth of study being pursued in regular Yale College courses.
44
3. To be promoted to senior standing after six terms of enrollment, a student must have earned at least twenty-six course credits or the equivalent and is expected to have fulfilled the distributional requirements for the junior year.
Academic Regulations
45
3. Late registration A student who, for reasons other than incapacitating illness, the death of a family member, or a comparable emergency, fails to follow the registration procedures in paragraph 1 or 2 above may register for the term only by exceptional action of the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing and will be liable to a fine of $50.
ENROLLmENT IN COURSES
Enrollment in courses can be accomplished only by the submission of an approved course schedule or, in amendment of the course schedule, by the submission of an approved course change notice. Attendance at a class does not constitute enrollment. The course schedule is an important document. A student is responsible for the timely submission of the course schedule and for the accuracy of all the information that the student enters upon it. The course elections that a student indicates on a course schedule or course change notice shall appear on the students transcript unless a student formally withdraws from a course before midterm. See section F, Withdrawal from Courses. The following rules govern students enrollment in courses during the fall and spring terms of the academic year: 1. Deadline for submitting schedules Every student must submit a course schedule for each term at the office of the residential college dean by 5 p.m. on the deadline indicated on the students course schedule and listed in the calendar at the beginning of this bulletin. Students whose registration has been withheld by the Office of Student Financial Services or any other administrative office of the University must nonetheless submit their course schedules by these same deadlines. It is the students responsibility to obtain all necessary signatures, except that of the residential college dean, before the schedule is due. In the rare instance that the students adviser is unavailable before the deadline, the student should nonetheless submit the schedule on time, and take a copy to be signed by the adviser and submitted to the dean as soon as possible. If the student does not submit a copy of the schedule signed by the adviser within one week of the deadline, the student will be subject to the fines and restrictions described under paragraphs 3 and 4 below. 2. Addition of a new course after the deadline The election of a new course after the deadline for submitting a course schedule will not be permitted save by exceptional action of the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing. Students who seek such an exception should consult immediately with the residential college dean. Permission to elect a new course must be requested by a petition that is accompanied by the written approval of the course instructor and the submission of a course change notice at the office of the residential college dean. The petition should explain in detail why the course is necessary to the students schedule and why the student was unable to elect the course during the course selection period. Timeliness is an essential feature of any request to add a course to the course schedule; a delay in consulting with the dean or in submitting a complete petition will normally be grounds for denial. A fee of $20 will be charged for the processing of an approved course change notice on which the election of a new course is requested. A student may not elect a new course after midterm (October 21, 2011, in the fall term; March 2, 2012, in the spring term), unless such election
46
is made to correct a clerical error on the course schedule. A change of level in courses in which the subject is taught in an ordered progression, as for example in languages or in mathematics, is not considered the addition of a new course. Such a change may be made with the approval of the instructors involved (and, if necessary, with the added permission of the director of undergraduate studies in the subject). Similarly, a change of section in the same course is not considered the addition of a new course. 3. Fines for late schedules Students who submit their schedules after the deadlines will be fined at least $50. Additional fines, increased $5 daily according to lateness, will be imposed for schedules submitted more than one week after the deadlines. A schedule received more than two weeks after it is due will be accepted only by exceptional action of the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing and will be subject to an increased fine or other penalty. 4. Credit/D/Fail option A student who submits a course schedule after the date on which it is due may not employ the Credit/D/Fail option in any course during that term. (See Credit/D/Fail Option in section B, paragraph 9.) 5. Fines for clerical errors A student who submits a course schedule or course change notice with clerical errors or omissions of data is liable to a fine of $50. 6. Overlapping meeting times A student may not elect courses with meeting times that overlap. If, for good cause, a student is obliged to elect two courses with a small and insignificant overlap in meeting times, the student must supply the residential college dean with the written permission of both instructors at the beginning of the term and must petition the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing, explaining why the student must enroll in both courses in the current term and how the student will meet all the requirements for both courses. Failure to file a complete and timely petition may result in the loss of credit for both courses. 7. Starred courses Election of a starred course requires that a student secure the permission of the instructor and, where appropriate, the director of undergraduate studies. If a student enters a starred course on the course schedule without the appropriate permission, the instructor may direct the registrar to drop the student from the class. 8. Prerequisites Students are expected to have met the prerequisites published in course descriptions in this bulletin. If a student wishes to elect a course for which prerequisites are indicated but has not met those prerequisites, it is the students responsibility to secure the permission of the instructor and, where appropriate, the director of undergraduate studies before enrolling. The registrar may drop the student from the class if the student has not met the prerequisites for enrollment. 9. Teaching evaluations For the advancement of teaching in Yale College, anonymous teaching evaluations are made available through the Yale University Student Information Systems. Students are expected to participate in this evaluation process for any Yale College course in which they are enrolled. Students who withdraw from a course after midterm are invited but not required to participate.

10. Selection of a less advanced course in the same subject In certain subjects, such as mathematics, foreign languages, and the sciences, knowledge of the subject is acquired in an ordered progression. That is, the concepts and skills introduced in one course are necessary, or prerequisite, for mastery of the material in subsequent courses in that field. Occasionally a student, having completed an intermediate or advanced course in a subject, may take a less advanced one in that same subject. In such a case, although the student obviously cannot receive course credit for both courses, each course will appear on the students transcript with the grades earned; however, the student will receive course credit only for the more advanced course. A student may sometimes be permitted to complete an intermediate or advanced course without having first completed a less advanced course in a subject; in such a case, the student does not receive course credit for the less advanced course by virtue of having completed the more advanced course. 11. Repeated enrollment in the same course Courses may not be repeated for credit, except for courses marked May be taken more than once or May be repeated for credit. On some rare occasions, a student may take the same course over again, or may take a course with the same content as another course the student has already passed. In such cases, the student receives credit for the course only once. Should a student take the same or an equivalent course twice, each course with its grade appears on the transcript. The student receives course credit for the higher grade if one is earned; in such an event, course credit is not given for the lower grade. Note, however, that both grades are included in the calculation of a students grade point average (GPA) and in the calculation for General Honors. 12. Placement in foreign language courses Students placed by a language program or by their score on the Advanced Placement examination into a particular level of a foreign language may not earn course credit for the completion of a course in that language at a level lower than the placement. For example, a student placed into the third term (L3) of a foreign language earns no course credit for the completion of an L1 or L2 course in that language. Should a student complete a foreign language course at a level lower than the placement, the lower-level course with its grade appears on the transcript but earns no credit toward graduation. 13. Use of vertebrate animals If the satisfactory completion of a course will require the use of vertebrate animals in experiments, the student must be notified of that requirement at the first meeting of the course. If a student objects on ethical grounds to participating in the animal usage in question, it is the students responsibility to discuss the matter with the faculty member in charge and not to enroll in the course if no alternative acceptable to the faculty member can be arranged. 14. Field trips If the satisfactory completion of a course will require participation in a field trip, students should understand that there are inherent risks, including the risks of travel, involved in such an activity. If a student objects to assuming these risks, it is the students responsibility to discuss the matter with the faculty member in charge and not to enroll in the course if no alternative acceptable to the faculty member can be arranged. Yale Colleges policies regarding field trips can be found at yalecollege.yale.edu/ content/academic-field-trip-policies.

that was assigned in the term in which the withdrawal occurred, even if the deadline for such assignments was previously extended by the instructor or by the residential college dean. 8. Transcripts of students withdrawn from Yale College It follows that if a student withdraws from Yale College by midterm, the transcript will not show that the student has been enrolled in any course during that term. If a student withdraws from Yale College after midterm, but before 5 p.m. on the last day of classes before the reading period, the transcript will record the students courses with the designation W (Withdrew). If a student withdraws from Yale College after the beginning of the reading period, the transcript will show the students courses with grades of F unless an instructor reports a passing grade for the student in any of the courses. The only exception is for a student who withdraws from Yale College for medical reasons after the beginning of the reading period but before the end of the term; see paragraph 5 above.

example, an oral presentation or examination, a term essay due at the latest before the beginning of the final examination period, or the last of a series of hour tests administered during the last week of classes. Final examinations normally last either two or three hours but, in either case, students are permitted to take an additional half-hour before being required to turn in their answers. This additional time is given for improving what has already been written, rather than for breaking new ground. 4. Scheduling of final examinations The Registrars Office has assigned a specific time and date for the administration of final examinations in most courses in Yale College. The time of the final examination is determined by the meeting time of a course during the term. If the meeting time of a course is changed from that originally published, the time of the examination is defined by the new meeting time. If a course is published with no scheduled examination but the instructor subsequently decides to offer a final examination, it must be administered at the time defined by the meeting time of the course. A schedule of final examinations may be found on the page Final Examination Schedules at the front of this bulletin. 5. Date of administering final examinations Since the final examination schedule has been carefully designed to make efficient use of the entire final examination period and to minimize overcrowding of students schedules, a final examination must be administered on the date and at the time specified. On occasion instructors have administered final examinations at times different from those assigned. Such an arrangement is allowed under the following conditions: (a) that two different and distinct final examinations be administered; (b) that one of these examinations be administered at the regularly specified time within the final examination period; (c) that the alternative examination be administered during the final examination period; and (d) that no student be required to obtain permission to take the alternative examination. 6. Take-home final examinations Take-home final examinations are sometimes substituted for regular final examinations. If a course has been assigned a final examination date, a take-home examination for that course is due on the scheduled examination day. If a course has not been assigned a final examination date, a take-home examination for the course is due on the day specified in the final examination schedule by the meeting time of the course. (See Final Examination Schedules at the front of this bulletin.) If a course does not meet at a time covered by the final examination schedule, a takehome examination may not be due during the first three days of the final examination period. No take-home examination may be due during the reading period. 7. Due dates for term grades An instructor is required to submit term grades promptly after the completion of a course. Fall-term grades are due by 5 p.m. on January 3, 2012; spring-term grades are due within one week of the end of the final examination period; grades for seniors in the spring term are due within forty-eight hours of the end of the final examination period. In submitting term grades, the instructor is expected to apply appropriate penalties for missed or incomplete work unless the late submission of the work has been authorized by the students residential college dean or by the Committee on Honors and Academic

51
Standing. If an instructor reports a mark of incomplete for which there has been no authorization by the college dean, the incomplete will be recorded by the Registrars Office as a grade of F. 8. An hour test at the end of term instead of a final examination Some instructors do not give final examinations of the usual two-and-one-half-hour or three-and-one-halfhour length, but instead terminate their courses with an hour test that is the last in a succession of hour tests administered during the term. For courses that do not observe the reading period, this hour test may be administered during the reading period, since, in such courses, regular class meetings are scheduled to extend through the reading period. A course that does not observe the reading period may also administer the hour test during the final examination period at the time specified in the final examination schedule. For courses that do observe the reading period, the hour test may not be administered during the reading period, but may be administered only during the last week of classes or during the final examination period at the time specified in the final examination schedule. 9. Senior departmental examinations In those major programs requiring a senior departmental examination, that examination is scheduled on the two weekdays preceding the final examination period in the fall and spring terms. In a department or program in which a two-day written senior departmental examination is administered on those days, a senior may, with the written consent of the appropriate instructors, be excused from final examinations in as many as two courses in the major in the term in which he or she takes the departmental examination. In a department or program in which the senior departmental examination takes place on only one of the two scheduled days, a senior may, with the written consent of the instructor, be excused from the final examination in one course in the major in the term in which the departmental examination is taken. If the senior departmental examination takes place before the scheduled days, or if a senior essay or senior project takes the place of the examination, a student may not omit a final examination.
52
Instructors are not required to accept course work sent over a computer network to their computer, printer, or e-mail account unless they have explicitly authorized such electronic submission in the syllabus for the course or have made a special arrangement with the student. Instructors may establish a deadline for electronic submission of a particular assignment different from the deadline for submission of the same assignment on paper.

53
matter of comparable moment. In such cases the college dean may authorize a mark of Temporary Incomplete for a period not to exceed one month from the beginning of the final examination period. Note that the mark of Temporary Incomplete refers to unfinished course work, not to a final examination missed for any reason; see Postponement of Final Examinations below. The residential college dean, in authorizing a mark of Temporary Incomplete, will stipulate the date on which the students late work will be due and the date on which the instructor is expected to submit a course grade to the registrar. The college dean may not set this second date later than one month after the beginning of the final examination period. If the students work has not been completed in time for the instructor to report a grade to the registrar by the deadline stipulated, then the instructor will submit a grade for the student that reflects the absence of the missing work, or the registrar will convert the mark of Temporary Incomplete to a grade of F. See General Regulations concerning Grades and Transcripts in section B, and Withdrawal from Courses, section F. Permission for a mark of Temporary Incomplete to last beyond one month from the beginning of the final examination period can be granted only by the Yale College Committee on Honors and Academic Standing. Such an extension may be given only for a brief period of time, usually one to two weeks, and only in response to extraordinary circumstances, usually of a medical nature. A petition for such permission must be submitted at the earliest possible date. In considering such requests, the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing takes into account the original deadline for submission of the work and the date on which a petition is delivered to the committee.
54
the final examination period, or three examinations scheduled consecutively in the final examination schedules.* The postponement of a final examination for any other reason requires the permission of the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing. A students end-of-term travel plans are not a basis for the postponement of a final examination. See Final Examination Schedules at the beginning of this bulletin and paragraph 4 in section G, Reading Period and Final Examination Period. It is normally the expectation that when a student begins a final examination but does not complete it, the student will receive credit only for the work completed on the examination. If, however, a student becomes unable to complete an examination because of a sudden and serious illness or other emergency during the examination, the student may request authorization from the residential college dean to take a makeup final examination. In such a case, the student must explain his or her departure to the instructor, or to some other person proctoring the examination, before leaving the room, and must contact the Yale Health Center or the residential college dean as soon as possible thereafter. Makeup examinations for the fall term are scheduled to take place at the end of the second week of classes in the spring term. Makeup examinations for underclassmen who miss final examinations in the spring term are scheduled at the end of the second week of classes in the following fall term. Makeup final examinations are administered by the Registrars Office only at these times. Students who will not be enrolled at these timeswhether because they are on leave of absence or on a Year or Term Abroad, or because they have withdrawn from Yalemust make alternative arrangements with the Registrars Office in advance of the dates on which makeup final examinations are administered by that office. The registrar automatically records a grade of F in a course for a student who fails to take an officially scheduled makeup examination in that course at the appointed time. If an examination is not administered by the registrar, it is the students responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor to take the makeup examination. In such cases, if a grade is not received by the midterm following the original examination date, the registrar automatically records a grade of F in the course. No fee will be charged for a makeup examination necessitated by illness, family emergency, the observance of a religious holy day, or participation required in an intercollegiate varsity athletic event. A charge of $35 will be made for the administration of a makeup examination occasioned by a conflict between two final examinations scheduled at the same time, or three examinations scheduled in the first two days of the examination period, or three final examinations scheduled in consecutive examination periods. Ordinarily there
*The final examination schedules indicate three examination sessions, or time slots, per day: one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. Some of these time slots contain examinations; others do not. A college dean may postpone an examination if a student has three examinations scheduled within any four consecutive time slots, whether or not each of those time slots has an examination assigned to it. See Final Examination Schedules at the beginning of this bulletin. Occasionally an instructor may arrange an option for an alternative final examination in addition to the regularly scheduled examination. (See paragraph 5 in section G, Reading Period and Final Examination Period.) Such an optional arrangement cannot be the basis for a postponement of an examination if three of a students final examinations would thereby acquire consecutive status.
Academic Regulations
55
will be a charge of $35 for makeup examinations authorized for special reasons approved by the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing. Permission to postpone a final examination does not also carry authorization for a student to submit other work late in that course. See Work Incomplete at the End of Term above.
ACAdEmIC WARNINg
Academic Warning is an indication that a students scholastic record is unsatisfactory. Students on Academic Warning who do not pass all of their courses in the term in which they are on Academic Warning will be dismissed for academic reasons. No matter how many course credits a student has earned, Academic Warning is automatic in the following cases: (a) failure in one term to earn more than two course credits; (b) a record that shows two grades of F in one term; (c) in two successive terms, a record that shows a grade of F for any course. The college deans attempt to give written notification of Academic Warning to students whose records show these deficiencies, but such students should regard themselves as being on warning even in the absence of written notification. A student permitted to continue in Yale College with fewer than the number of course credits ordinarily required for academic good standing (see Requirements for Academic Good Standing in section D) may be placed on Academic Warning, and in such a case the student will be notified that he or she has been placed on warning. The Committee on Honors and Academic Standing may at its discretion disqualify a student on Academic Warning from participation in recognized University organizations.

the residential college dean, to take one or two terms of leave of absence, provided that the student departs in academic good standing at the end of a term and returns at the beginning of a term. (See Requirements for Academic Good Standing in section D.) In order that the University may make plans to maintain enrollment at the established level, students desiring leaves of absence are requested to make their intentions known to their residential college deans as soon as possible. Yale College assumes that students who take leaves of absence will inform their parents or guardians in good time that they intend to do so. Ordinarily, residential college deans do not notify parents or guardians that a student has taken a leave of absence, though they may do so if they believe that such notification is appropriate. 1. Petition for a fall-term leave For a fall-term leave of absence, a student is requested to submit a petition by May 1. Since a students plans often change during the summer, however, the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing will ordinarily grant a petition for a leave that is received on or before the tenth day of the term in the fall. See paragraph 3 below. 2. Petition for a spring-term leave For a spring-term leave of absence, a students petition must be received on or before the tenth day of the term in the spring. See paragraph 3 below. 3. Relinquishing housing Students considering a leave of absence should be aware that there is a substantial financial penalty for relinquishing on-campus housing after the relevant deadlines for relinquishing such housing. See Rebates of Undergraduate Charges in the section Financial Regulations in the Yale College online publication Undergraduate Regulations. 4. Canceling a leave A student may cancel a leave of absence for either term as late as the first day of classes in the term for which the leave has been requested. However, the deadlines for payment of the term bill and the penalties for late payment apply in such cases. See Payment of Bills in the section Financial Regulations in the Undergraduate Regulations. 5. Total terms of leave A student is eligible for a total of two terms of leave of absence. These two terms need not be taken consecutively. 6. Accelerated students A student taking an accelerated degree by use of acceleration credits who has had two terms of leave of absence may receive a third term of leave if the third term of leave is needed to bring the students pattern of attendance into conformity with the pattern of attendance stipulated for an accelerated degree. See section P, Acceleration Policies. 7. Returning from a leave Permission to take a leave of absence normally includes the right to return, with prior notification to the residential college dean but without further application, at the beginning of the term specified in the students petition to the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing. In the case, however, in which a student achieved eligibility for a leave of absence because of a postponement of a deadline for course work as a result of an identified medical problem, the Yale College Deans Office
58
may require medical clearance from the Yale Health Center before the students return from the leave of absence. 8. Financial aid Students taking leaves of absence who have received long-term loans will be sent information about their loan repayment obligations, which in most cases begin six months after the last day of formal enrollment at Yale. A student taking a leave of absence who is receiving financial aid through Yale must consult with a counselor in the Student Financial Services Center before leaving Yale; see Rebates of Undergraduate Charges in the section Financial Regulations in the Undergraduate Regulations. 9. Health coverage A student on a leave of absence is eligible to retain coverage by the Yale Health Plan during the time of the leave, but the student must take the initiative to apply for continued membership in the Yale Health Plan by completing an application form and paying the fee for membership. See Leave of Absence in the section Health Services in the Undergraduate Regulations. Application forms and details about medical coverage while on leave of absence may be obtained from the Member Services Department of the Yale Health Plan.
mEdICAL WIThdRAWAL
A withdrawal for medical reasons must be authorized by the director of the Yale Health Center or the chief of the Mental Health and Counseling department, or by their official designees within the Health Center. If a student under the care of a nonYale Health Center physician wishes to withdraw for medical reasons, that physician should submit sufficient medical history to the director of the Yale Health Center for a final decision on the recommendation. A student planning to return to Yale should discuss the requirements for readmission with the residential college dean or the chair of the Committee on Readmission. Yale College reserves the right to require a student to withdraw for medical reasons when, on recommendation of the director of the Yale Health Center or the chief of the Mental Health and Counseling department, the dean of Yale College determines that the student is a danger to self or others because of a serious medical problem, or that the student has refused to cooperate with efforts deemed necessary by the Yale Health Center to determine if the student is such a danger.
Academic Regulations
59
REAdmISSION
During the time that a student who has withdrawn is away from Yale College, the Committee on Readmission expects him or her to have been constructively occupied and to have maintained a satisfactory standard of conduct. Students whose withdrawal was for either academic reasons or personal reasons must remain away for at least one fall term and one spring term, in either order, not including the term in which the withdrawal occurred. Students whose withdrawal had been authorized as medical by the director of the Yale Health Center must normally remain away at least one full term before a return to Yale College, not including the term in which the withdrawal occurred. The period of withdrawal for disciplinary reasons is set by the Yale College Executive Committee at the time the students enrollment is suspended. Further requirements depend to some extent on the circumstances of the withdrawal and its duration. Students who are not in academic good standing, i.e., students who withdrew while a term was in progress or who were dismissed for academic reasons (see section I), must ordinarily complete the equivalent of at least two term courses, either in Yale Summer Session or at another college or university, earning grades of A or B. In general, such a record of course work is also required of students who withdrew for medical reasons and of any students who have been away from full-time academic work for two years or more, whether or not they were in academic good standing at the time of their departure, in order to demonstrate that upon return they can satisfactorily complete their academic program. Courses themselves, as well as the institution at which they are taken, should be cleared in advance with the chair of the Committee on Readmission or the applicants residential college dean. In some cases, the Committee on Readmission may require more than two courses or courses in a specific subject area. All such course work must be completed no later than the opening of the term to which the student has applied to be readmitted, but no earlier than two years before the date that term begins. Interviews with members of the committee are required of all applicants. The committee cannot approve a students return to Yale College until after the necessary interviews have taken place. These may include meetings for any applicant with the chair of the committee, the applicants residential college dean, and any other member of the committee, including a member of the Yale Health Center staff. Interviews are normally conducted just prior to the beginning of the term to which the student is seeking readmission. As an integral part of the application for readmission, students who withdrew for medical reasons must obtain a recommendation from the Yale Health Center. Such a recommendation must come from either the director of the Yale Health Center or the chief of the Mental Health and Counseling department, or from their official designees within the Health Center; no such recommendation can be made in the absence of documentation provided to the Yale Health Center that the student has had successful treatment from an appropriate health clinician. Inquiries about readmission should be directed to the chair of the Committee on Readmission, Yale College Deans Office, 110 SSS, Yale University, P.O. Box 208241, New Haven, CT 06520-8241. The first inquiry about readmission to a fall term should come no later than the previous April 30, and applications must be submitted in person or by receipted mail by June 1. The first inquiry concerning readmission to a spring term
60
should come no later than the previous September 30, and applications must be submitted in person or by receipted mail by November 1. These deadlines are strictly enforced. While the majority of students who apply for readmission do return to Yale College, readmission is not guaranteed to any applicant. Since the committee seeks to readmit only those students who have demonstrated the ability henceforth to remain in academic good standing and thus complete degree requirements within the specific number of terms of enrollment remaining to them, the committee may sometimes advise an applicant to defer his or her return until a time later than the one originally proposed. Students who are readmitted to Yale College are expected to be complete and passing in all their courses at the conclusion of each of the two terms following their readmission. A student who fails to meet this condition is ordinarily required to withdraw after his or her record has been reviewed by the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing. A student is eligible to be readmitted only once; a second readmission may be considered only under unusual circumstances, ordinarily of a medical nature. For complete information about readmission to Yale College, consult the brochure General Information concerning Readmission to Yale College, available from the Committee on Readmission.

4. The student must notify Yale within three years of the end of the U.S. military service of his or her intention to return. However, a student who is hospitalized or recovering from an illness or injury incurred in or aggravated during the U.S. military service has up until two years after recovering from the illness or injury to notify Yale of his or her intent to return. 5. The student cannot have received a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge or have been sentenced in a court-martial. A student who meets all of these conditions will be readmitted for the following term unless the student requests, in writing, a later date of readmission. Any student who fails to meet one of these requirements may still be eligible for readmission under Yales general readmission policy but is not guaranteed readmission. Upon returning to Yale, the student will resume his or her education without repeating completed course work for courses interrupted by U.S. military service. The student will have the same enrolled status last held and will be in the same academic standing. For the first academic year in which the student returns, the student will be charged the tuition and fees that would have been assessed for the academic year in which the student left the institution. Yale may charge up to the amount of tuition and fees other students are assessed, however, if veterans education benefits will cover the difference between the amounts currently charged other students and the amount charged for the academic year in which the student left. In the case of a student who is not prepared to resume his or her studies with the same enrollment status and academic standing as when he or she left or who will not be able to complete the program of study, Yale will undertake reasonable efforts to help the student become prepared. If, after reasonable efforts, Yale determines that the student remains unprepared or will be unable to complete the program, or Yale determines that there are no reasonable efforts it can take, Yale may deny the student readmission.
K. Special Arrangements
YEAR OR TERm ABROAd
In recognition of the value of international study, Yale College encourages students to spend a term or an academic year studying in an approved program abroad. In order to participate in a Year or Term Abroad, students must have the approval of the Yale College Committee on the Year or Term Abroad and have been accepted into an approved and accredited study-abroad program. Students in any major may apply. Please note that a term abroad may be taken only during the second term of the sophomore year or either the first or second term of the junior year, and that a year abroad may be taken only during the junior year. Within the limits of the eligibility requirements given below, other combinations of terms of study abroad may be permitted with the approval of the Committee on the Year or Term Abroad. Students are limited to a total of two terms abroad for full Yale credit and financial aid transfer. To be eligible, students must be in academic good standing as a junior or second-term sophomore, as appropriate, to begin an approved term or year abroad and be able to return to enrollment at Yale in academic good standing (see
62
Requirements for Academic Good Standing in section D). Students must also have at least a B average at the time of their application and demonstrate sufficient competence in the language of the host country to do university-level course work. In general, by the time that they go abroad students should have completed the relevant intermediate-level foreign language course (typically a course numbered 140 with an L4 designation) or have demonstrated the equivalent proficiency by examination. Study in an English-speaking country or participation in any other program abroad in which instruction is in English is permitted when the student articulates clear academic objectives for such a program. Applicants may petition the committee for an exception to eligibility requirements if they believe they have compelling reasons for the exception. Application forms for a Year or Term Abroad are available on the Web site of the Center for International Experience, www.yale.edu/yalecollege/international. A complete application includes all of the following: the application form; an approval form from the students director(s) of undergraduate studies; an evaluation form from the students residential college dean; a foreign language evaluation form (if applicable); and a statement concerning the proposed course of study. Students on Yale financial aid must also submit a Year Abroad Budget for Financial Aid Applicants to the appropriate office. Approval from the Yale College Committee on the Year or Term Abroad is contingent upon the students acceptance into a program or university abroad. Students must provide a copy of their acceptance letter to the committee before departure. Applications for permission to study abroad in the spring term of the academic year 20112012 are due on October 15, 2011. Applications for study in the fall term of the academic year 20122013 or for the full academic year 20122013 are due on March 5, 2012. Early applications that meet all requirements as listed in this bulletin are reviewed on a rolling basis until the final deadline. Applications for programs or universities abroad are available directly from the sponsoring institutions. Information about specific programs, including course descriptions, addresses and telephone numbers of the programs, and evaluations from past Yale participants, can be found at the Center for International Experience. Note that application deadlines differ from program to program and usually also differ from the Yale College committees deadline. Students are responsible for meeting the deadlines set by the programs they seek to attend, whether those deadlines fall before or after the Yale College committees deadline. In selecting programs abroad in which to enroll, students should be aware that such programs vary in quality, and some may not be approved for a Year or Term Abroad. At a minimum, approved programs must involve full-time work at the university level and must be undertaken during the regular academic year at an institution outside the United States. Students should note that programs in the Southern Hemisphere are subject to a different academic calendar, one which extends into the months of June, July, and August. With this exception, summer terms do not qualify as part of a Year or Term Abroad. A list of programs which have had the approval of the committee in the past and in which Yale students have participated with success is available on the Web site of the Center for International Experience. Students applying to enroll in programs not previously reviewed or approved by the committee may be required to furnish informational literature

about the program, course syllabi, or a letter of support from a Yale faculty member familiar with the program. The committee evaluates programs primarily on the quality and structure of their academic offerings. Study abroad advisers are available in the Center for International Experience to assist students in selecting an appropriate program. 1. Course credits Students on a Year Abroad who complete a full program of study for the equivalent of two terms of enrollment at Yale may earn up to nine course credits. Students on a Term Abroad who complete a full program of study for the equivalent of one term of enrollment at Yale may earn up to four course credits. What the committee considers a full program of study varies from program to program. Students should consult with the Center for International Experience to ensure that they are enrolled in a full program abroad. Usually, if the student has consulted with the director of undergraduate studies and an adviser in the Center for International Experience before going abroad, the award of credit upon return from a Year or Term Abroad is routine. 2. Course credit from outside Yale Enrollment in the Year or Term Abroad program is the only arrangement by which students may offer more than two outside credits toward the thirty-six course credits required for the bachelors degree.* Students receiving credit for a Year Abroad may not apply any other credits from outside Yale toward the 36-course-credit requirement. Students receiving credit for a Term Abroad may apply up to two other course credits from outside Yale toward the 36-course-credit requirement. 3. Evidence of course work To be awarded credit toward degree requirements, students must submit to the committee such evidence of their achievement as transcripts or other official academic records, wherever possible. Students should also be prepared to provide on their return to Yale copies of all course work, syllabi, and letters from instructors describing the nature and quality of their work. 4. Grades No credit will be awarded for a course in which the grade earned was lower than a C or its equivalent in other grading scales. Nor will credit be awarded for a course taken on a Pass/Fail option, if the student had the choice of taking the course for a letter grade. 5. Distributional requirements and major requirements In addition to applying credits earned on a Year or Term Abroad toward the 36-course-credit requirement, students may, with appropriate permissions, apply these course credits toward fulfillment of
*Study during the academic year at the Paul Mellon Centre in London (Yale-in-London) is equivalent to enrollment in Yale College and is not considered a Term Abroad. Application to the Yalein-London program should be made directly to that office at the Yale Center for British Art. For details, see under Yale-in-London in chapter I and under British Studies in chapter III. Likewise, study during the academic year in the Peking UniversityYale University Joint Undergraduate Program in Beijing is equivalent to enrollment in Yale College and is not considered a Year or Term Abroad. For details, see under Peking UniversityYale University Joint Undergraduate Program in chapter III.

distributional requirements and some of the requirements of their major programs. Petitions for credit toward the distributional requirements should be directed to the director of study abroad; petitions for credit toward major requirements should be directed to the relevant director of undergraduate studies. 6. Academic regulations Because a Year or Term Abroad counts as the equivalent of one or two terms of enrollment in Yale College, the academic regulations of Yale College pertain to enrollment abroad. Students must earn a sufficient number of credits abroad to remain in academic good standing. Failure to do so will result in academic warning or dismissal for academic reasons. (See section I, Academic Penalties and Restrictions.) Withdrawal from an approved program abroad has the same consequences as withdrawal from Yale College. 7. Canceling a Year or Term Abroad Students who have received permission to study abroad but later decide not to do so must notify their residential college dean in writing of their change of plans and then either enroll as usual in Yale College or apply for a leave of absence before the deadline (see section J, Leave of Absence, Withdrawal, and Readmission). In some cases, such students will have to withdraw from Yale College if the deadline for requesting a leave has passed, or they have already taken two terms of leave, or the deadline for enrolling in courses in Yale College has passed. Under no circumstances can a Year or Term Abroad be converted retroactively to a leave of absence. Similarly, a leave of absence cannot be converted retroactively to a Year or Term Abroad. 8. Enrollment in Yale College after a Year or Term Abroad After returning from a Year or Term Abroad, students must enroll in Yale College for at least two terms. Students who have accelerated should speak with their residential college dean about the possible need to decelerate (see section P, Acceleration Policies). 9. Financial aid Students who have been approved by the committee to study abroad and who receive financial aid from Yale are eligible for aid while abroad. For information about financial aid support, consult a counselor in the Student Financial Services Center, 246 Church Street, 432-2700.

and Academic Standing through the residential college dean that the fall term will be the students last term of enrollment. Forms on which to make such notification are available in the offices of the college deans. Notification must include written certification from the students director of undergraduate studies that the student will have completed all the requirements of the major program by the end of the fall term, and from the students residential college dean that the student will have fulfilled the distributional requirements by that time. Failure to observe the deadline will result in the students being charged a fine of $100. 2. Award of degrees and diplomas Students who complete degree requirements at the end of a fall term are awarded their degrees and their diplomas at Commencement at the conclusion of the spring term of that academic year and are considered to be members of the class that graduates at that Commencement. General Honors and Distinction in the Major are also awarded at that time. If a student who completes degree requirements at the end of a fall term wishes to participate in the Commencement exercises held in the previous academic year, however, the student may do so with the permission of the residential college master and dean. Such might be the case, for example, of a student who because of a leave of absence did not qualify for graduation with the class in Yale College with which he or she entered as a freshman. Such a student would not receive the degree or diploma until the May of the academic year in which degree requirements were completed. 3. Health coverage A student whose last term of enrollment is a fall term is eligible, upon application and payment of a fee, for continued coverage by the Yale Health Plan during the subsequent spring term, just as if the student were on leave of absence for that term. Such coverage extends to August 31. See Leave of Absence in section J.
TWO mAJORS
A student must petition the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing for permission to complete the requirements of two major programs. Application forms are available from the residential college deans. A student contemplating the completion of two majors should bear in mind that doing so will almost invariably limit the opportunities for a wider distribution of studies over different subjects. Each major must be completed independently of the other, with no more than two term courses overlapping. Prerequisites in either major are not considered to be overlapping courses. Other than such prerequisites, all courses taken in a majorincluding those taken in excess of the minimum requirements of the majorare counted in the consideration of overlapping courses unless such courses are in excess of the minimum requirements for both majors. Overlapping courses may not include the senior essay or senior project, unless the essay or project is unusually substantial and represents at least the equivalent of the minimum essay or project requirement of the one major in addition to the minimum essay or project requirement of the other major. If a single senior essay or project is approved for the two majors, no additional overlap in course credits is permitted. It is not possible to offer as two majors a combined major with one of its component majors. For example, a major in Economics and Mathematics cannot be joined with a
66
second major in either Economics or Mathematics. Similarly, a student completing a major that permits the inclusion of a concentration of courses from another major or program cannot also major in that second major or program. For example, a major in Sociology with Psychology cannot have a second major in Psychology. A Special Divisional Major may not be offered as one of two majors. A petition for two majors should show clearly how the requirements for each of the two programs will be met, and should include the approval of the appropriate directors of undergraduate studies. The completion of two majors does not result in the award of two degrees; a student who completes a major that leads to the award of the B.A. degree and another major that leads to the award of the B.S. degree may choose the degree to be conferred. A petition to complete the requirements of two majors should be made only after the students plans are definite, but no later than the due date for course schedules in the students final term of enrollment. Petitions submitted after this deadline will be accepted only by exceptional action of the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing and will be fined $50. A student may not petition for permission to complete the requirements of more than two major programs.

completion of MUSI 360, 361, 460, and 461; such courses are also included in the limit of four credits that may be earned in professional schools of the University. The deadlines and regulations of Yale College are binding on all students, including candidates for the simultaneous award of the bachelors and masters degrees, in regard to courses in which they are enrolled in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the professional schools of the University. These include the deadlines and regulations pertaining to withdrawal from courses, late or postponed work, work incomplete at the end of term, and double credit in a single-credit course. An exception in deadline may be made in a course offered in a professional school of the University in which the academic calendar differs from that of Yale College. A request for such an exception must be grounded in compelling academic reasons, and must be made in writing by the instructor of the course to the students residential college dean in advance of the deadline in question. Instructors of courses in the Graduate School and in the professional schools of the University are expected to use the Yale College grading system when they report grades for undergraduates who have completed their courses.
70
2. Program requirements Yale will award the masters degree and the bachelors degree simultaneously only in a single department or program that confers both degrees. A student in the Special Divisional Major or any other major that does not have an exact counterpart in the Graduate School is not eligible for the combined degree program. A student cannot qualify for the simultaneous award of a bachelors degree in one department or program and a masters in another. Specific requirements for the award of degrees will be determined by each department. Normally a student is expected to complete the requirements of the undergraduate major in addition to eight or more courses in the Graduate School. For all students in the program, graduate work must not be entirely concentrated in the final two terms, and students in the program must take at least six term courses outside the major during their last four terms at Yale and at least two undergraduate courses during their last two terms. Students may not enroll in Yale College for more than eight terms in order to qualify for the simultaneous award of both degrees. It is possible to earn both degrees in fewer than eight terms, but not by the use of acceleration credits. Upon acceptance into the program, a student who has accelerated by the use of acceleration credits will automatically be decelerated, and may not, so long as the student remains in the simultaneous degree program, subsequently employ the credits to accelerate. 3. Requirements for the masters degree To qualify for the masters degree, students must complete eight term course credits in the Graduate School with grades of A in at least two term courses (or in one year course) and with a B average in the remaining ones. Students in those departments with a language requirement for the Ph.D. degree will be required to demonstrate proficiency in one of the specified languages. 4. Approval of course schedules Following notification that they have been accepted into the Program for the Simultaneous Award of the Bachelors and Masters Degrees, students must have their course schedules approved each term both by the director of undergraduate studies and by the director of graduate studies.

students major program. They may also be counted toward any of the distributional requirements. The Credit/D/Fail option may not be used in Summer Session courses. There are no auditing privileges in Yale Summer Session. Unless the Registrars Office is instructed in writing to the contrary, courses completed in Yale Summer Session will be entered on the Yale College record. Once a course in Yale Summer Session has been entered on or removed from the Yale College transcript in response to a students request, that action cannot subsequently be reversed by the student. When a Summer Session course is entered on a students Yale College transcript, both the course and the grade are recorded; the course may not be recorded without the grade. If a Summer Session course is entered on the Yale College transcript, it will be included in the calculation of the students eligibility for General Honors and Distinction in the Major. For further information about Summer Session courses and transcripts, refer to the Summer Session Web site at www.yale.edu/summer.
AUdITINg
Auditors are not permitted in courses taught in Yale College except for persons in one of the categories described below.
72
1. Students enrolled full time in Yale College or in one of the graduate or professional schools of the University may audit courses without charge. The permission of the instructor is required. 2. Members of the Yale faculty and emeritus faculty may audit courses without charge. The permission of the instructor is required. 3. Spouses or partners of full-time Yale faculty members, or of emeritus faculty, or of students enrolled full time in the University may audit courses without charge. Permission is required of the instructor and of Dean William Whobrey. 4. Employees of the University and their spouses or partners may audit courses without charge in accordance with applicable personnel policies. Permission is required of the instructor, of the employees supervisor, and of Dean William Whobrey. No other persons are permitted to audit courses in Yale College except for those accepted through the Association of Yale Alumni Auditing program. The Alumni Auditing program is administered separately from the general auditing program, and different rules may apply. Information is available at admissions.yale.edu/yale-alumni-auditing-program. Persons auditing courses with limited laboratory or computer facilities must secure the explicit permission of the instructor to do so, and should understand that regularly enrolled students must at all times have priority in using such facilities. Computer or language laboratory facilities should be employed by auditors only during times when they are not in heavy demand, and in certain courses charges for computer use may be necessary. General access to the campus computing network may not be available to auditors. It is the usual expectation that an auditor does not take tests or examinations or write papers for a course for evaluation by the instructor. Occasionally, however, an auditor may wish to do such work and may request the instructor to evaluate it. If the instructor wishes to cooperate with the auditor in this way, the instructor does so on a voluntary basis and not as an obligation. The Registrars Office does not keep a record of courses audited. It is not possible, therefore, for a students transcript to show that a course has been audited, or for a transcript to be issued that records the auditing of a course. Persons interested in auditing a course should visit the Yale College Special Programs Office, 55 Whitney Avenue, Suite 430.
L. Transfer Students
The following regulations apply to students admitted to Yale College by transfer from other colleges and universities: 1. Degree requirements In order to graduate from Yale College, transfer students must fulfill all the requirements for the bachelors degree. They must thus earn a total of the equivalent of at least thirty-six course credits, that total consisting of the number of credits awarded for their work at their previous institutions combined with the number of course credits subsequently earned at Yale. They must also complete the requirements of a major program in Yale College and fulfill the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree, which include the foreign language requirement. Upon their arrival at Yale, transfer students should consult carefully with the director of the
Academic Regulations
73
transfer program in order to ascertain their status with regard to the distributional requirements, especially the foreign language requirement. 2. Terms of enrollment at Yale Transfer students are expected to enroll in Yale College for the number of terms designated at the time of the final credit evaluation made of their work at previous institutions. Under no circumstances may a transfer student complete fewer than four terms of enrollment in Yale College. Under no circumstances may a transfer student earn fewer than eighteen course credits at Yale or accelerate by the use of acceleration credits. 3. Transfer of credits A preliminary evaluation of transferable credits is made at the time of the students admission. Final evaluation of transfer credits is completed when all official transcripts from a students previous institutions have been received. 4. Additional terms at Yale Students who must remain at Yale beyond the terms designated in the final evaluation of transfer credits must petition the Yale College Committee on Honors and Academic Standing for permission to do so. Such a petition will be considered only if it is impossible for the student to complete the requirements for the bachelors degree in the designated number of terms. See section A under Eight Terms of Enrollment. A student thus granted permission to remain at Yale for an additional term, if the term represents more than the equivalent of eight terms of enrollment at the college level, is not eligible for scholarship assistance from Yale for the additional term, although other forms of financial aid may be available. 5. Transcripts A transfer students Yale transcript indicates the institutions from which the student transferred to Yale, and the number of course credits earned there. It does not list the titles of courses taken or grades earned at the transfer students previous colleges or universities. A transfer student who needs a record of studies completed before admission to Yale must secure a transcript from the previous institutions. 6. Course credit from outside Yale Transfer students may receive course credit for work completed outside Yale only for studies completed before matriculation at Yale; transfer students may not receive course credit for any outside courses taken after they have enrolled in Yale College. An exception is made for transfer students who earn credit on a Year or Term Abroad. Transfer students may attend a Year or Term Abroad provided that they enroll in Yale College proper for at least four terms, earning by attendance at Yale a minimum of eighteen course credits. 7. Distributional requirements Transfer students are not bound by the distributional requirements for the freshman, sophomore, or junior years, but they must fulfill the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree. See paragraph 1 above. Transfer students are not eligible for the award of acceleration credit or for acceleration by use of acceleration credits. 8. Attendance at Yale before enrollment Once a student has been accepted for admission as a transfer student, the student may not attend Yale as an Eli Whitney student or a nondegree student before his or her first term of enrollment at Yale.

75
total of eight course credits in an academic year; such permission, if granted, will be granted one time only. 3. Tuition and financial aid Tuition for the 20112012 academic year for Eli Whitney students admitted before the fall term 2007 is $3,100 per course credit; these students are not eligible for financial aid. Tuition for the 20112012 academic year for Eli Whitney students admitted since the fall term 2007 is $4,500 per course credit; these students are eligible to apply for financial aid. Yale employees are entitled to a tuition reduction as determined by the Office of Human Resources. Tuition must be paid in full to the Office of Student Financial Services before registration. 4. Facilities and services Eli Whitney students are entitled to use the library system together with the other facilities that are required for the courses in which they are enrolled, such as laboratories, computers, and the like. They are also eligible for services such as career counseling through Undergraduate Career Services and fellowships through the Center for International Experience. Eli Whitney students are entitled to purchase gymnasium membership and Yale Health Plan coverage. Students in the Eli Whitney program are not eligible for undergraduate housing and they may not serve as freshman counselors. 5. Regulations Eli Whitney students are governed by the academic regulations of Yale College, wherever appropriate, and by the rules contained in the Undergraduate Regulations. In disciplinary matters, Eli Whitney students are subject to the jurisdiction of the Yale College Executive Committee. 6. Leave of absence and withdrawal See section J, Leave of Absence, Withdrawal, and Readmission. All regular deadlines and policies apply. 7. Year or Term Abroad With the approval of the director of the Eli Whitney Students program, the department of their major, and the Committee on the Year or Term Abroad, students enrolled in the Eli Whitney Students program may undertake study outside the United States for a full academic year or for either a fall or a spring term. An Eli Whitney student must comply with all deadlines and requirements of the Committee on the Year or Term Abroad. See Year or Term Abroad in section K. To be eligible to apply, an Eli Whitney student must have accumulated, before enrolling abroad, at least sixteen course credits but no more than twenty-two course credits toward the 36-course-credit requirement and have a B average in course work at Yale. Study abroad must involve full-time work at the university level. Eli Whitney students must enroll for at least two terms in Yale College after their return from study abroad and may not receive degree credit for any other work done at another university after their matriculation at Yale. 8. Yale students No person who was ever a regular student in Yale College may enter the Eli Whitney Students program before the lapse of five years after withdrawing from Yale College. A person who in the past has withdrawn from Yale College without graduating and who wishes to return to Yale as a candidate for the bachelors degree as an Eli Whitney student must make application to the Eli Whitney Students program
76
and fulfill all of its requirements for the bachelors degree, including the requirement that at least eighteen course credits must be earned while the student is enrolled in the Eli Whitney Students program. Once a former Yale College student has entered the Eli Whitney Students program, that student can pursue the bachelors degree only through the Eli Whitney Students program. Further information and application forms for the Eli Whitney Students program are available at admissions.yale.edu/eli-whitney.

3. Credit/D/Fail option Nondegree students who wish to elect a course under the Credit/D/Fail option must make a compelling case for that election in a petition to Dean William Whobrey no later than September 14 for the fall term and January 20 for the spring term. Nondegree students may take no more than one course in a term using the Credit/D/Fail option, and must be enrolled in at least one other course worth a minimum of one course credit during the same term. A maximum of two courses may be taken Credit/D/Fail during a students time in the Nondegree Students program. 4. Tuition The tuition for nondegree students during 20112012 is $4,500 per course credit; Yale employees and their spouses are entitled to a tuition reduction as determined by the Office of Human Resources. Tuition must be paid in full to the Office of Student Financial Services before registration. Yale provides no financial assistance for nondegree students. Students withdrawing from a course may be eligible for a refund of all or a portion of the tuition fees, in accordance with the tuition refund policy: (a) a student who drops a course for any reason on or before the last day of the course selection period will be refunded the tuition fees paid for that course; (b) a student who drops a course for any reason after the course selection period but on or before the day of midterm (Friday, October 21, for fall 2011, and Friday, March 2, for spring 2012) will be refunded one-half the tuition paid for that course; (c) a student who drops a course after midterm will not be refunded any portion of the tuition. Fees for late submission of course schedules apply as outlined in section E of this chapter. Please note that payments completed after the registration deadline may be subject to late payment fees. Late payments will be accepted (with the addition of a late payment fee) no later than September 23, 2011, for fall 2011, and February 3, 2012, for spring 2012. Any student who has not completed payment in full for courses by these dates will not be permitted to enroll for that term. 5. Facilities and services Nondegree students are entitled to use the library system and other facilities that are required for the courses in which they are enrolled, such as laboratories, computers, and the like. For a fee, they are entitled to purchase gymnasium membership and Yale Health Plan coverage. Nondegree students are not eligible for undergraduate housing and they may not serve as freshman counselors. 6. Regulations Nondegree students are governed by the academic regulations of Yale College and by the rules contained in the Undergraduate Regulations. In disciplinary matters, nondegree students are subject to the jurisdiction of the Yale College Executive Committee. 7. Yale students Students who have withdrawn from Yale College or who did not complete degree requirements within the number of terms of enrollment for which they were admitted may not return to Yale College to complete degree requirements as nondegree students. This rule includes former Yale College students who are currently employees of the University. Students on leave of absence may not be admitted to the Nondegree Students program. 8. Yale graduates Graduates of Yale College who have received the bachelors degree after eight terms of regular enrollment are eligible to apply as nondegree students either on
78
a full-time or on a part-time basis. But Yale College graduates who have taken degrees after fewer than eight terms of regular enrollment are eligible to apply as nondegree students only on a full-time basis until they have completed the equivalent of eight terms of enrollment in Yale College. Thus a student who took a seven-term degree must be a full-time student for the first term in which he or she is a nondegree student, but may be a part-time nondegree student in a subsequent term. For example, a student who has completed degree requirements at the end of a fall term after eight terms of regular enrollment is eligible to apply as a nondegree student either on a full-time basis or on a part-time basis during the subsequent spring term, but a student who has completed degree requirements at the end of a fall term after seven terms of regular enrollment is eligible to apply as a nondegree student during the subsequent spring term only on a full-time basis. Please note that any courses taken by a former Yale College student in the Nondegree Students program will appear on the undergraduate transcript. 9. Transfer students Students who have been accepted for admission as transfer students may not attend Yale as nondegree students before their first term of enrollment at Yale. 10. Application deadlines Applications are due on October 1, 2011, for spring term 2012, and on June 1, 2012, for fall term 2012. Yale employees require permission of their supervisors to apply. Nondegree enrollment may begin in either the fall or the spring term. Further information and application forms are available at admissions.yale.edu/ non-degree-students-program.
Academic Regulations
79
a program that is not sponsored by an American university should supply an official transcript if the sponsoring institution issues transcripts; if it does not, then the student must furnish an official certificate of enrollment, showing if possible the course or courses completed. (c) Students seeking outside credit should be prepared to furnish a copy of the course syllabus, as well as essays and examinations written in the course. In some cases, a letter from the instructor of the course may be required, or the student may be asked to pass an examination on the material of the course. Such information may be particularly necessary in the case of study at a foreign university. (d) Study undertaken in the United States must be at a four-year accredited institution that grants a bachelors degree in the arts and sciences. Foreign study must be completed at a university or other approved institution. Credit may be awarded only for work done while a student was officially enrolled at such an institution, and cannot be given for any work completed independently of such formal enrollment. (e) A grade of A or B is expected; a grade of C is acceptable. Credit cannot be given for a mark of Credit on a Credit/D/Fail option, nor for a grade of Pass on a Pass/Fail option, if the student had the choice of taking the course for a letter grade. (f ) In order for credit to be given for a course completed at another college or university, the course must carry a value of at least three semester credit hours; if the course is taken at an institution on the quarter system, it must carry a value of at least four-and-one-half quarter units. (g) In order for credit to be given for a course completed at another college or university, the number of contact hours for the course must equal or exceed the number of contact hours for an equivalent course offered in Yale College during the fall or spring term, and the length of term (from the first to the last day of classes) must be at least four consecutive weeks. 2. Residential college seminars Residential college seminars are, by definition, courses that extend beyond the Yale College curriculum. They are not used as comparables for credit for outside courses, whether in Year or Term Abroad or for other considerations for outside credit. 3. Work done while in secondary school Course credit or distributional credit cannot be given for any college or university course taken while the student was still enrolled in secondary school. Work done after graduation from secondary school but before matriculation at Yale may be accepted on recommendation from the appropriate director of undergraduate studies. As a regular exception to this rule, students who earned credits while still enrolled in secondary school as members of the Nondegree Students program in Yale College or as students in Yale Summer Session may apply such credits toward the requirements of the bachelors degree. 4. Limit of two course credits Credit cannot be given for more than two course credits earned at another institution. An exception of one additional course credit may be made only by action of the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing upon the students petition, normally after the final term of enrollment.
80
5. Distributional requirements With permission, course credit earned at another college or university may be applied toward the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree and to those for the sophomore and junior years whether or not it is counted toward the 36-course-credit requirement for graduation; students should consult with the residential college dean to be directed to the appropriate authority for such approval. Credit from outside Yale may not be applied toward the distributional requirements for the freshman year. Note particularly that Yale does not award course credit or distributional credit for courses completed at another college or university before the student graduated from secondary school. 6. The foreign language requirement and courses taken elsewhere Students who have taken a course in a foreign language at another institution, either in the United States or through a program abroad, and who wish to offer that course toward fulfillment of the foreign language distributional requirement must secure the approval of the relevant director of undergraduate studies. While the approval process varies across departments, in no case can it be completed until an official transcript of the work has been received and reviewed by the department. Typically, an additional assessment of the students work will be necessary, especially with respect to the level (e.g., L3 through L5) that has been achieved by the outside study. Such assessment might include a written or oral examination or both, a review of the course syllabus and written assignments, or other methods of evaluation. Some departments maintain a list of programs that have been previously evaluated, in which case the approval process is often simplified. Students are therefore strongly encouraged to consult the relevant department before undertaking language study elsewhere. 7. Major requirements At the discretion of the director of undergraduate studies in a students major, work done at another institution may be counted as fulfilling a requirement of the students major program. This may be done whether or not a course is credited toward the 36-course-credit requirement. 8. Year or Term Abroad Students receiving credit for foreign study on a Year Abroad are not eligible to apply additional credit from outside Yale toward the 36-course-credit requirement. Students receiving such credit on a Term Abroad may apply up to two course credits from outside Yale toward the 36-course-credit requirement. Students receiving credit for foreign study on a Year or Term Abroad may apply such credit toward the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree or toward a requirement of the students major program (see points 5 and 7 above). 9. Summer Abroad Students who wish to receive credit for summer study abroad with outside programs must apply for approval through the Summer Abroad program. The deadline to apply for 2012 Summer Abroad credit is March 1, 2012. Information about the application process, including a list of eligible programs, is available at the Center for International Experience, 55 Whitney Avenue, 3rd floor, and on the Web at www.yale.edu/ yalecollege/studyabroad. Students receiving credit for foreign study on a Summer Abroad may apply such credit toward the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree or toward a requirement of the students major program (see points 5 and 7 above).

10. Transfer students Students admitted by transfer from another college or university may receive course credit from outside Yale only for work done before matriculation at Yale; transfer students may not receive course credit for any outside courses taken after they have enrolled in Yale College. An exception may under certain circumstances be made in the case of course credits earned by transfer students on a Year or Term Abroad. See section L, Transfer Students. Transfer students must enroll in Yale College proper for at least four terms, and earn therein at least eighteen course credits. 11. Correspondence courses, internships, and the like Course credit cannot be given for a course taken by correspondence even if it is sponsored by another university, including accredited four-year institutions granting a bachelors degree. It also cannot be given for such programs as internships, field studies, workshops, or distance learning arrangements, unless such programs include as a component a full, regular, academic course of instruction, and are certified by a transcript from an accredited four-year institution granting a bachelors degree. 12. Yale transcript Outside courses may be entered on a students Yale transcript only if they are applied to the 36-course-credit requirement, the distributional requirements, or the requirements of a major program. Such courses must be entered on the Yale transcript if they are to be applied toward any of these requirements. Except for transcripts of transfer students (on which see section L, Transfer Students), courses that are applied toward the 36-course-credit requirement are listed by title with indication of the credit units earned, but without grades. Courses that are applied toward the distributional requirements only are listed without grades and with the designation for distributional credit only. Courses that are applied toward the requirements of a major program only are listed without grades and with the designation for credit toward the major only. Once a course has been entered on a students Yale transcript at the students request, the entry may not subsequently be removed at the students request. 13.

ACCELERATION BY ThE EARLY ACCUmULATION OF ThIRTY-SIX COURSE CREdITS ALL EARNEd AT YALE
A student may accelerate progress toward graduation by accumulating thirty-six course credits in fewer than eight terms of enrollment. Such a student must earn all thirty-six course credits at Yale and may not offer course credits earned at another institution in order to reduce the number of terms of enrollment at Yale. 1. Study abroad Terms spent on a Year or Term Abroad count as if they were terms of enrollment in Yale College, but course credits earned therein may not be applied to acceleration by the early accumulation of thirty-six course credits because all such credits must be earned at Yale. A spring term at the Yale College program at the Paul Mellon Centre in London or a fall or spring term at the Peking UniversityYale University Joint Undergraduate Program in Beijing is, in fact, a term of enrollment
82
in Yale College, and credits earned in either program may be applied to such acceleration. Attendance at Yale Summer Session or the summer program at the Paul Mellon Centre in London does not count as a term of enrollment, but course credits earned in these summer programs may be applied toward acceleration by the early accumulation of thirty-six credits all earned at Yale. See Courses in Yale Summer Session and Yale-in-London Summer Program in section K. 2. Patterns of attendance While students employing acceleration credits in order to acquire an accelerated degree are required to attend Yale in certain patterns of attendance (see below), no particular pattern of attendance is required from a student accelerating by the early accumulation of thirty-six course credits all earned at Yale. 3. Six or seven terms of enrollment Either a six-term degree or a seven-term degree may be acquired by the accumulation of thirty-six course credits earned at Yale; graduation after fewer than six terms of enrollment in Yale College by such an early accumulation of course credits is not permitted. 4. Notification by the student A student intending to accelerate through the early accumulation of thirty-six course credits all earned at Yale must notify the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing through the residential college dean of that intention by the day on which the students course schedule is due in the final term of enrollment. Such notification must include written certification from the students director of undergraduate studies that the student will have completed all of the requirements of the major program, and from the residential college dean that the student will have fulfilled the distributional requirements at the conclusion of that term. Failure to do so will result in the students being charged a fine of $100. 5. Deceleration A student may subsequently decelerate and take an eight-term degree. A reversion to an eight-term degree will not affect a students academic good standing or eligibility for eight terms of financial aid.
Academic Regulations

2. Application deadline Application to accelerate is made by submission of the required form to the office of the residential college dean. The deadline for applying for acceleration is the last day of classes in the respective term of enrollment given in the eligibility charts above. As a special exception, a student accelerating by one or two terms who wishes to complete a term of study abroad as early as during the third term of enrollment would have to petition to accelerate before the third term of enrollment. Such a student should consult with the residential college dean. The absolute and final deadline for applying for acceleration by one term is the last day of classes in the sixth term of enrollment. The absolute and final deadline for applying for acceleration by two terms is the last day of classes in the fifth term of enrollment. 3. Course credit requirement for graduation A student accelerating by two terms must earn at least twenty-seven course credits at Yale, and a student accelerating by one term must earn at least thirty-two course credits at Yale. Therefore, with the exception of credit earned through enrollment in the Year or Term Abroad program, a student accelerating by use of acceleration credits may not apply any credit earned at another college or university toward the 36-course-credit requirement for the bachelors degree. 4. Enrollment requirements, including required patterns of attendance A student intending to accelerate by two terms must complete six terms of full-time enrollment in Yale College. Those six terms may be in any pattern of enrollment as long as the students sixth and final term of enrollment is a spring term. A student intending to accelerate by one term must complete seven terms of fulltime enrollment in Yale College. Those seven terms may be in any pattern of enrollment as long as the students seventh and final term of enrollment is a spring term. A student accelerating by two terms may not combine acceleration credits and course credits to graduate in fewer than six terms; six terms of enrollment is the minimum as well as the maximum requirement for acceleration by two terms. Likewise, a student accelerating by one term may not combine acceleration credits and course credits to graduate in fewer than seven terms; seven terms of enrollment is the minimum as well as the maximum requirement for acceleration by one term. 5. Deceleration A student accelerating by two terms or one term may subsequently apply to decelerate by submitting the required form to the office of the residential college dean. A student who is considering whether to decelerate should consult with the residential college dean as soon as possible. A student accelerating by two terms who subsequently decides to accelerate by only one term must meet the requirements for acceleration by one term. A student accelerating by two terms or one term may subsequently decide to decelerate completely and take an eight-term degree. Since by
84
definition an eight-term degree is not an accelerated degree, such a student will lose the use of acceleration credits. A reversion to an eight-term degree will not adversely affect a students academic good standing or eligibility for eight terms of financial aid. 6. Reacceleration A student who has declared an intention to decelerate and to relinquish the use of acceleration credits is permitted to accelerate again through the use of acceleration credits as long as the student meets the eligibility requirements and application deadline for one or two terms of acceleration given in points 1 and 2 above.

Paul Mellon Centre in London as one of the required seven terms of enrollment in Yale College. Course credits earned by attendance at these summer programs, however, may be applied toward the requirements for the bachelors degree by accelerating students, provided that such students meet the conditions specified for acceleration by one or two terms. See also Courses in Yale Summer Session and Yale-in-London Summer Program in section K. 6. Course credit from outside Yale A student accelerating by two terms must earn at least twenty-seven course credits at Yale, and a student accelerating by one term must earn at least thirty-two course credits at Yale. Therefore, an accelerating student may not apply any credit earned at another college or university toward the 36-course-credit requirement for the bachelors degree. A student, whether accelerating or not, may be permitted to apply course credits earned at another college or university toward the requirements of the students major program or toward any of the distributional requirements other than those for the freshman year. See section O, Credit from Other Universities. (Please note that attendance at the Yale College program at the Paul Mellon Centre in London during the spring term counts just as if it were a term of enrollment at Yale College in New Haven, as does attendance at the Peking UniversityYale University Joint Undergraduate Program in Beijing. Attendance at the Paul Mellon Centre during the summer, however, does not count as a term of enrollment. See Yale-in-London Summer Program in section K.) 7. Year or Term Abroad A Year Abroad counts as two terms and a Term Abroad counts as one term of enrollment in Yale College. Credits earned on a Year or Term Abroad count as the equivalent of Yale course credits. Note that after a Year or Term Abroad all students must attend two subsequent terms in Yale College; see Year or Term Abroad in section K. In many cases a student must relinquish the use of acceleration credits and decelerate in order to take a Year or Term Abroad. As a special exception, a student accelerating by one or two terms who wishes to complete a term of study abroad as early as during the third term of enrollment would have to petition to accelerate before the third term of enrollment. A student who wishes to accelerate and to take a Year or Term Abroad should consult with the residential college dean and the Center for International Experience at the earliest opportunity. An accelerating student who wishes also to complete a Year or Term Abroad must conform to one of the following schemes:
Terms of Acceleration 1 1 2 2 Total Terms at Yale 6 5 5 4 Terms on YA/TA 1 2 1 2 Acceleration Credits 4 4 9 9 Minimum Course Credits Earned at Yale 28 23 23 18 Maximum Course Credits Earned on YA/TA 4 9 4 9
8. Distributional requirements Acceleration credits may not be employed to meet the distributional requirements for the freshman, sophomore, or junior years, or the
86
distributional requirements for the bachelors degree, including the foreign language requirement. With permission, an accelerating student may apply course credit earned at another college or university toward the distributional requirements for the bachelors degree and to those for the sophomore and junior years; students should consult with the residential college dean to be directed to the appropriate authority for such approval. 9. Major requirements With the permission of the director of undergraduate studies, an accelerating student may apply credit earned at another university toward the requirements of the students major program. 10. Makeup of course credit deficiency If an accelerating students record at the end of a term of enrollment shows a deficiency for promotion, academic good standing, or graduation, the student will be allowed to repair the deficiency without forfeiting the use of acceleration credits only through enrollment in Yale Summer Session if the credit earned is to be applied toward the 36-course-credit requirement for the bachelors degree. See section D, Promotion and Good Standing. 11. Enrollment after graduation as a nondegree student Accelerating students who have qualified for the award of the bachelors degree are eligible, as are all Yale College graduates, for full-time enrollment in Yale College as nondegree students. Because such students will have graduated, they will not be eligible for financial aid. See section N, Nondegree Students Program. 12. Transfer students Students admitted by transfer from other colleges and universities are not eligible for acceleration by the use of acceleration credits.

The University reserves the right to amend or supplement these regulations at any time upon such notice to students as it deems appropriate.
