Kathy Trputec

11:01

Before we close the chat, does anyone have any other questions? Do you feel ready to start your online courses with us?

Meg Palladino

11:00

The email went out yesterday, so please check your email. If you have not received it, please email us at summer.session@yale.edu

This might have already been asked, but you would only have received the introductory email if you are enrolled in a session A course right?

Meg Palladino

10:59

Most courses should be both lecture and discussion based.

Qianan Chen

10:59

Hi. Will the courses be mainly lecture-based or will they involve live discussions/interactions?

Meg Palladino

10:58

Hi - you can check the website to see if your syllabus is posted. If not, the course will be made live about a week before the course start date, and you can see what is required.

Guest

10:58

Hi, I'm Li! I'm enrolled in Session B, and I'm just wondering when would we receive more info on materials? Would that be included in the welcome letter, or is there some other place I should check?

Guest

10:57

well, thank you so much.

Meg Palladino

10:57

Since all of our courses are online, we don't have any activities planned.

Marilyn Zhou

10:57

is there any co-curricular activities beside yss courses?

Michael Fitzpatrick

10:57

All of our instructors have, or had in the past, a Yale affiliation.

Marilyn Zhou

10:57

Are all the teachers for each course from Yale?

Meg Palladino

10:56

Doing well in a Yale Summer Session course is not a guarantee to get into Yale, but it can certainly strengthen your application.

Guest

10:56

but will it be helpful for my admission In Yale?

Meg Palladino

10:55

Course times are in Eastern Daylight time. Attendance is mandatory for the live sessions. The course times are the times the course was going to be offered before we converted the courses to remote courses.

Yuchen Li

10:55

Sorry, I'm still confused about how they arrange the class time, since there is jet lag between different countries

Kathy Trputec

10:55

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer financial aid to high school students.

Maya Kendall

10:55

Does YSS offer financial aid to high school students?

Anton Myachin

10:55

*COVID-19

Yale Summer Session

10:55

Our researchers have been working hard to help solve this issue! https://news.yale.edu/in-focus/yale-responds-covid-19

Anton Myachin

10:55

Is Yale doing anything to combat COVi

Michael Fitzpatrick

10:54

No, students will recieve letter grades for YSS courses this summer.

Guest

10:54

Due to varying home conditions and the transition online, will Yale Summer session be pass/fail as Yale was this past fall?

Meg Palladino

10:54

This course should help you prepare for the degree.

Guest

10:54

a follow up question regarding my Masters. I have taken the course of International Human Rights for summer seminar. will that suffice?

Meg Palladino

10:51

I am not sure what course you are taking, but a Yale College course is great preparation for a Master's degree.

Guest

10:51

will this course be helpful to me for my Masters in Law at Yale?

Meg Palladino

10:50

Yale is not currently considering offering online courses to visiting students during the academic year, but we do offer online courses for visiting students in the summer.

Anton Myachin

10:50

and a follow up from the last question, is Yale University considering implementing regular online courses not only for University students?

Kathy Trputec

10:48

Hi! We are a separate office from undergraduate admissions. If you do well in your course, you can mention it in your application.
