An email that was sent to me said we may pick up our Yale Student ID card at the housing check-in on Sunday, June 30. If we can't, we can pick it up at the Yale Summer Session office beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, July 1. When is the latest I can come by to pick up my ID card? I'm worried because I have another summer course, so I can't pick it up until 2-3 pm. My YSS course starts on July 2, so I wouldn't want to risk getting my ID card on the day my class starts. Is there an alternative day I can pick up my ID? Or can I pick it up at the YSS office around 2-3 pm?

Hello! If you are a high school student, you are not eligible to take this course.

I am currently doing A levels and want to study Chem S165 General Chemistry. I completed all the prerequisites for the courses and the topics that are in the course are those that I will study later in my A levels, so it is possible for me to study this Course as this is for college students and beyond but I believe that I can easily do it.

Hi Anna- You will receive check in information from Yale's OISS office which will explain how to check in when you arrive to Yale. International students are required to check in and they will explain how to do all of that.

Hi Kathy! I received my I-20 some time ago from OISS Connect and it has the Yale Director's signature on the first page. On page 2 there is a "Travel Endorsement" section where a designated school official can sign - do I need that signature as well? Is it not only for re-entry?
