We will send instructions, but basically there will be a phone number on the gate that you can call, and someone will help you.

Please, I have just one more question: How long we can stay on campus after the course ends? Can we stay one or two days more?
AvatarKathy Trputec

You will have to leave the dorm on the posted check out date.

Hi. Wanted to apply for the summer course in chemistry . But as I see they have asked for English proficiency certificates of either ielts or toefl. I have neither of them.  There was something written about academics being studied in English for the past 2 years. I come from an ICSE background and have studied till now in English being my first language in academics . Would that suffice for toefl or ielts.
Meg Palladino
9:56
If you have studied at an English speaking institution for at least 2 year, we will waive the test requirement.

If our class ends before the end of the session can we leave early?
AvatarKathy Trputec

In order to get a final grade, you will need to complete the course, but you may leave when the course ends.

Can we leave the dorms in the weekends and stay outside of campus?
AvatarHannah Parten

Hi Mohammad. If you are under 18, Yale Summer Session must receive parental permission for you to go off campus for extended periods. If you are over 18, you do not need to receive permission but you should tell your residential counselor that you're leaving.

I'm a French student and I have my baccalaureate in June so how do I get an F-1 student visa if I don't have time to go to Paris?
Meg Palladino

Ornella - you will have to get an F-1 visa to come.  Please look for your nearest consulate and make arrangement to go.
