Hello, does law seminar has text book?
Meg Palladino

I believe that you will get a course pack.  There is nothing specific to buy in advance.  The instructors will tell you after you arrive.

I'm an international student who's going to be slightly late for housing check-in (around 5:30PM). Are there still going to be staff available to help me check-in? And when do I need to visit the Office of International Students & Scholars? Thanks!
AvatarYale Summer Session
9:50
Yes, there will be staff available to help you check in. Please call the Housing Office at (203) 432-4020. You can check in at OISS as soon as you can when you don't have class, hopefully in the first few days.
AMY

As an international student, not residential, do I only need to visit the international office on my arrival?
Meg Palladino

Yes, if Yale issued you an I-20, you will need to check in with OISS after you arrive.
