Residential Regulations

The residential regulations below govern the Yale Summer Session Summer Colleges in New Haven. As a condition of residence in University housing, students are required to comply with these regulations, which are binding on all students in residence in the Summer Colleges and their visitors, whether from Yale or elsewhere. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with these regulations, and an assertion of ignorance of their provisions cannot be accepted as a basis for an exception to them. No student or group of students should expect to be warned individually to conform to any of the regulations. If you have any questions, please consult promptly with Yale Summer Session at summer.session@yale.edu. During the summer, students should also consult with the Head of Summer Colleges for Yale Summer Session. Students enrolled in a Yale Summer Session Program Abroad must follow the residential and other regulations specific to their selected program.

Residence

Only students who are enrolled in Yale Summer Session and who have elected and been assigned to on-campus housing may occupy student rooms and suites and use facilities in the Summer Colleges. Housing is generally available for all who request it before the relevant deadline, see here, but availability is not guaranteed.

Pre-College Students

Pre-college students taking one or more in-person courses are required to live on campus in the Summer Colleges, except for those who are living at home with their families in New Haven or its immediate suburbs. Relatedly, pre-college students living on campus must maintain enrollment in two courses in each five-week session that they are in residence.

All resident students must take a meal contract.

The Summer Colleges are not air-conditioned, except in certain common areas.

Students who, for medical reasons, seek housing or other accommodations should consult with Student Accessibility Services as soon as possible after their admission to Yale Summer Session.

Housing Assignments

There are no housing lotteries and draws in the Summer Colleges; housing assignments are done centrally by Yale Summer Session in coordination with Yale Conferences and Events and the Yale Housing Office. Students must live in the rooms to which they have been assigned and may not move without the express permission of the Head of Summer Colleges. Room changes are rare and exceptional, typically only for medical reasons with the support of Student Accessibility Services. In most cases, students living in the Summer Colleges will share a bedroom with another student; single bedrooms are rare. Empty beds in rooms or suites may be filled by Yale Summer Session at any time and without prior notice to students. While students will ordinarily remain in the room to which they have been assigned, they may be moved at the discretion of the Head of Summer Colleges.

Occupancy of Rooms

The Summer Colleges open for occupancy the day before the start of each five-week session, Session A and Session B, as here. Students will be e-mailed additional information about check in, including times and locations, in advance, and are expected to arrive on time. The Head of Summer Colleges and their staff will hold a mandatory orientation session after dinner on move-in day.

All students must vacate their rooms by no later than the stipulated dates and times; see here. For Session A, the move-out deadline is typically on the final Friday of the five-week session at 6:00pm EDT; for Session B, it is typically on the Saturday after the final Friday of the five-week session at 9:00am EDT. These move-out deadlines must be strictly enforced, so students should make travel arrangements accordingly.

Yale Summer Session is unable to accommodate early arrivals or late stays.

Students who are living in the Summer Colleges for FSY, STARS, and the Yale Writers' Workshop should consult their program materials for their check-in and check-out dates, times, and locations.

Only students currently enrolled in Yale Summer Session are eligible to live in the Summer Colleges. Students who cease to be enrolled in Yale Summer Session during a five-week session must vacate their room and return their keys to the Yale Housing Office within 24 hours of their status change. In some cases, this interval may be altered by Yale Summer Session or other Yale College or University officials.

Keys and Access Cards

Keys and, if needed, identification cards are issued to resident students at check in. No keys will be issued except to the occupant of a given room, and that student is responsible for the return of all keys on move out to avoid a $50 charge per key. Students' identification cards will be deactivated on move out.

If a key is lost, a student should report promptly to the Yale Housing Office. A replacement will be supplied to the student to whom the key was originally issued at a charge of $50. Ordinarily, the University does not change locks when keys are lost unless a form of identification has also been lost; in such a case, a student may also be charged to rekey the room. If a student loses their identification card, they should immediately report the loss to Yale Public Safety at 203-785-5555. Replacement cards are available at the ID Card Center at 57 Lock Street during their office hours and for a replacement charge.

Off-campus students will not be provided with keys or access to any residential facilities, unless they have purchased a summer meal contract.

Students living in the Summer Colleges for Yale Summer Session will have access only to those residential colleges in which Yale Summer Session students are housed.

Insurance for Personal Belongings

Yale Summer Session, Yale College, and the University are not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any personal belongings anywhere on or off campus, whether in a dormitory room, a common area or facility, an off-campus apartment, or a storage area, regardless of the cause of the loss or damage. All students are strongly encouraged to make their own advance arrangements to obtain insurance against loss or damage.

For information on Lost and Found service locations on campus, see here. Found items of value should be forwarded to the Yale Police Department at 101 Ashmun Street.

Conduct in the Dormitories

Living and studying in a residential community requires individuals to show each other mutual respect and consideration. Students should review carefully the residential regulations, as well as the Yale College and University policies and procedures, including those on discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct, linked here. Violations of these regulations and policies may result in disciplinary action or other educational or administrative interventions.

In working to foster the social, cultural, and educational life of the Summer Colleges and to uphold the standards set forth in the residential regulations, the Head of Summer Colleges may impose educational and administrative interventions and sanctions, as appropriate, and/or refer matters for disciplinary action. In doing so, the Head of Summer Colleges may consult closely with other members of the Summer Colleges Committee and the Dean of International and Summer Programs for Yale College. Such interventions and sanctions vary based on the circumstances but may include, among other things, additional curfew restrictions; limitations on a student's participation in Summer Colleges field trips and events or use of common spaces; and training and other educational requirements, including meeting with the Summer Colleges Committee.

In certain cases, the Head of Summer Colleges, in consultation with the Dean of International and Summer Programs for Yale College, will decide that the appropriate consequence for persistent or serious disregard of the regulations is to require the student in question to live off campus, either for a specified period or permanently. This penalty is called rustication. Rusticated students will lose access to the Summer Colleges and must make any necessary travel and other arrangements to vacate the Summer Colleges expeditiously, by no more than 24 hours after their rustication. In some cases, this interval may be altered by Yale Summer Session or other Yale College or University officials. When a student is rusticated, no rebate of room, board, or other residential charges will be granted. Violations of the penalty of rustication may also be referred for additional disciplinary action. In the case of pre-college students, or other students under 18 years of age, rustication will also result in withdrawal from any in-person Yale Summer Session courses; tuition refunds, if any, would be based on the regulations here.

1. Bathrooms. No personal belongings are to be left in hallway bathrooms; this includes, but is not limited to, personal towels, soap, shampoo bottles, shower shoes, and all other toiletries.

2. Common Areas. Common areas in the Summer Colleges are, by their very nature, shared, and students are expected to leave them in a clean and orderly condition, disposing of any food or trash in designated basement trash rooms. Furniture and other furnishings in common rooms are not to be moved. Students may not sleep in common areas, except in the case of an official Heat Protocol, as determined by Yale Conferences and Events and relayed to students by the Head of Summer Colleges or their designee. Activities or games that may harm lawns are not allowed in college courtyards, except with express permission of the Head of Summer Colleges. Activities involving oversized inflated balls are not permitted on University property.

3. Electronic Scooters, Skateboards, and Bicycles. Battery-powered micro-mobility devices, including e-scooters, e-skateboards, e-bikes, and hoverboards, are prohibited in University residential properties, including associated courtyards and other common spaces. This prohibition includes charging and storage. Approved mobility devices for people with disabilities are exempt from this policy.

4. Firearms and Weapons. Guns, ammunition, air rifles, paintball and pellet guns, BB guns, tasers, knives, and other weapons are strictly prohibited.

5. Firecrackers and Fireworks. Under no circumstances may students store or use fireworks anywhere on campus.

6. Guests. Students who wish to host overnight guests must secure advance permission from their suitemates and from the Head of Summer Colleges or their designee. Students who feel inconvenienced by the presence of guests in their suite are encouraged to discuss their concerns candidly with their suitemates and, if necessary, the Residential Directors. If approved, students may host guests for brief visits only, in no case more than three days during a five-week session. No guest may be in residence if their host is not present. Students are responsible for the behavior of their guests at all times; guests may not use the common areas of the Summer Colleges unless their host accompanies them. The Head of Summer Colleges may at any point require that a guest vacate the Summer Colleges.

7. Noise. Summer Colleges students should be mindful that they are guests in a residential community with permanent, year-round residents, including the academic-year Head of College, Residential College Dean, and Faculty Fellows, and their families, and that excessive noise is a particularly serious offense. All students are expected to be considerate at all times of others' need for reasonable privacy and quiet; students should use sound systems, musical instruments, televisions, and other noise-emitting devices with care and respect for others. Large or loud social gatherings in suites are not permitted. The above is particularly important between 11:00pm and 8:00am, which are officially designated as Quiet Hours. Playing a loudspeaker out of a window is strictly prohibited. The Head of Summer Colleges or their designee has the authority to confiscate and store at the student's expense any sound equipment that is used inappropriately and to return it to the student at move out. Inconsiderate noise should be reported to the Summer Colleges staff.

8. Pets. Students are not permitted to keep pets or other animals in their dormitory rooms, or elsewhere in the Summer Colleges, and off-campus students may not bring their pets to campus. The Facilities Superintendent has the authority to remove and send to the pound any animal found in University residences. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable state and federal laws, the University generally allows students with disabilities to bring Service Animals to campus to perform work or tasks related to a disability. In some cases, Emotional Support Animals that do not qualify as Service Animals under the ADA may be permitted in University housing if shown to be necessary to afford a student with a documented disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy University housing. See here. Students who plan to bring a Service Animal to campus, or who seek approval to bring an Emotional Support Animal to campus, should contact Student Accessibility Services as soon as possible after their admission to Yale Summer Session.

9. Posters and Other Hanging Items. No items, including but not limited to flags, banners, and signs, may be hung on the exterior of dormitories or other University buildings or on the interior or exterior sides of windows, gates, fences, doors, walls, or structures. Notices and posters may be placed on designated bulletin boards with permission from the Head of Summer Colleges or their designee. See Yale College's Policy on Posters, Chalking, and Publicity here.

10. Recording Devices. Drones are not permitted in the Summer Colleges, and recordings, whether by video, photography, audio, or other recording device, are allowed only for personal use. Students may not record others without their express permission. Recordings made for other than personal purposes are usually not permitted in Yale's residential colleges. See the University's Recording Policy here.

11. Restricted Areas. Students may not trespass in areas that are locked, such as rooftops, towers, or tunnels; in unoccupied rooms or suites; or in other locations that Summer Colleges or other University staff have indicated are offline to Summer Colleges students.

12. Smoking and Tobacco. The University has a tobacco-free and smoke-free campus. Smoking or vaping of any kind is prohibited in all areas of the University campus and in property leased or owned by Yale. All tobacco products, including chewing tobacco, are also prohibited.

13. Thrown Objects. Throwing objects of any kind from windows is forbidden.

14. Trading and Solicitation. Students may not invite dealers or other tradespeople to campus unless they receive permission from the Head of Summer Colleges. They also may not make contracts or agreements with such individuals that would require their presence in dormitories, except to remove or deliver goods to an individual student.

15. Trash and Recyclables. Trash and recyclables must be placed in the designated basement trash rooms. Under no circumstances may students leave trash or recyclables from their rooms in bathrooms, entryways, hallways, stairways, or landings; students who do so will be assessed a fine of $100 and will be charged for the removal of the trash. Under city and state laws, students are required to recycle all newspapers, white office paper, corrugated cardboard, and glass and metal food and beverage containers in the designated recycling sites.

Alcohol and Other Drugs

Possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the Summer Colleges are strictly prohibited. This regulation applies to all students, even those of legal drinking age in the State of Connecticut. Any student who possesses, serves, sells, or consumes alcohol in the Summer Colleges will be subject to disciplinary action, typically rustication. In addition, any Summer Colleges students under 18 years of age found to be in possession or under the influence of alcohol, whether in the Summer Colleges or elsewhere, will be rusticated, withdrawn from any in-person courses, and referred for disciplinary action. Such students must make any necessary travel arrangements and vacate the Summer Colleges expeditiously, by no more than 24 hours after their rustication. In some cases, this interval may be altered by Yale Summer Session or other Yale College or University officials. No rebate of room, board, or other residential charges will be granted; tuition refunds, if any, would be based on the regulations here.

Students in the Summer Colleges are also subject to Connecticut state laws, which regulate the sale, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The legal drinking age in Connecticut is 21. The law provides that anyone who delivers or gives an alcoholic beverage to a person under the legal drinking age or to any person who is intoxicated is in violation of the law and subject to the imposition of penalties as designated by statute; see CT General Statute, Section 30-86(b). It is similarly a violation of the law for a person under the legal drinking age to possess alcohol or to misrepresent their age, through the use of a fraudulent identification card or otherwise, in order to be served alcoholic beverages illegally; see CT General Statute, Section 30-88a. Yale Summer Session expects all students and staff to comply with the law.

The unlawful possession, use, purchase, or distribution of illicit drugs or controlled substances, including stimulants, depressants, narcotics, or hallucinogenic drugs, and the misuse of prescription drugs, including sharing, procuring, buying, or using in a manner different from the prescribed use, or by someone other than the person for whom they were prescribed, are prohibited.

Curfew

Summer Colleges students who are under 18 years of age have a curfew of 11:00pm every night of the week while in residence.

Students who miss or otherwise fail to check in on time for curfew are subject to disciplinary action or other educational or administrative interventions.

• For the first missed curfew, a student will receive written notice from the Residential Directors and must meet promptly with their Residential Counselor.
• For the second missed curfew, a student will receive written notice from the Residential Directors and must meet promptly with a Residential Director and their Residential Counselor. The Residential Directors will also notify the student's parents or guardians, by phone or e-mail.
• For the third missed curfew, a student will receive written notice from the Residential Directors and must meet promptly with the Head of Summer Colleges. The Head of Summer Colleges will notify the student's parents or guardians, by phone or e-mail, and the student will be rusticated and withdrawn from any in-person courses. Such students must make any necessary travel arrangements and vacate the Summer Colleges expeditiously, by no more than 24 hours after their rustication. In some cases, this interval may be altered by Yale Summer Session or other Yale College or University officials. No rebate of room, board, or other residential charges will be granted; tuition refunds, if any, would be based on the regulations here.

In addition, the Head of Summer Colleges may, at their discretion and at any time, impose an earlier curfew or other restrictions, for specific minor students or for all students under 18 years of age.

After a student has checked in for curfew, they must remain in their residential college until at least 7:00am the next morning. Leaving one's residential college after checking in for curfew is a serious offense and will be subject to disciplinary action or other educational or administrative interventions.

Procedures for curfew check in (as well as for single exemptions from curfew based on a parent or guardian's written permission, sent from their e-mail account on file to the Summer Colleges Office at least 24 hours in advance) are established by the Head of Summer Colleges and are provided to students at the mandatory orientation session on move-in day. Curfew is required for all students under 18 years of age; parents and guardians may not authorize a blanket waiver of curfew.

Dining Services

All Summer Colleges students must present and scan their University identification cards to access the Summer Colleges Dining Hall. Students who do not present a valid University identification card may be denied access. Unlike during the academic year, Summer Colleges students must eat in the dining hall assigned to Yale Summer Session; meal swipes are not transferable to other dining halls or locations.

Meal contracts entitle a diner to the food being served at a meal, for consumption at that time; food may not be taken from the dining hall to be consumed later on, unless otherwise specified. Removing plates, bowls, flatware, and glassware from the dining hall constitutes theft and is also forbidden. Dining privileges are not transferable and may not be given or sold to another person. If meals are improperly obtained in the Summer Colleges Dining Hall or other dining facilities, the Associate Vice President of Yale Hospitality or their designee has the authority to impose fines and charges and to refer the student for disciplinary action.

• A student who gives, lends, or sells the use of a Yale identification card to a non-Yale person will be fined $100 and required to pay at the current guest rate for the meal or meals taken.
• A student who gives, lends, or sells the use of a Yale identification card to another Yale student will be fined $100. The student who receives the card will also be fined $100 and will be required to pay at the current guest rate for the meal or meals taken.
• A non-resident student without a dining contract who has not paid for a meal, but who takes food available for self-service or from another person’s tray, will be fined $100 and required to pay for the meal at the current guest rate.
• If a student brings a guest to a dining hall with no payment made for a guest meal, and the guest takes food available for self-service or from another person's tray, the student who is the host will be fined $100 and required to pay for the meal at the current guest rate.

The Summer Colleges Dining Hall is an important social center. So that it may be a place where everyone can eat and talk in comfort, certain activities must be regulated or entirely prohibited.

• Annoyances. Loudness and offensive boisterousness are inconsiderate invasions of the rights of others and are not allowed. Food-throwing is absolutely forbidden.
• Solicitations. Table-to-table solicitations and sales are prohibited. Public announcements, except with the approval of the Dining Hall Manager and the Head of Summer Colleges, are not allowed during meals.
• Photography. In general, photographing during meals is not allowed because it interferes with the privacy of others.
• Table Tents and Other Notices. Table tents and other notices are not permitted on tables in any of the dining halls at Yale.

Students with food allergies or other medical conditions which may require dietary restrictions should review the information found here and are strongly encouraged to speak with the Dining Hall Manager. Arrangements will be made to accommodate reasonable dietary restrictions at no extra charge. Students may be asked to provide supporting medical documentation, to be evaluated by and registered with Student Accessibility Services.

Dormitory Rooms and Suites

Students are responsible for the care of their rooms and suites and are expected as a condition of occupancy to keep them clean and orderly. Students living in suites with internal bathrooms are responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms and for requesting necessary repairs or other maintenance.

Even when absent, students are responsible for, and will be charged for the cost to repair, any damage to their rooms and suites and, as relevant, to other University property. Repairs must be made by University staff only. Upon taking possession of their assigned rooms and suites, students finding any damage should report it in writing and within two days, ideally sooner, to the Summer Colleges Office so that they may be released from financial responsibility for repairs.

On move out, students must leave their rooms and suites clean and orderly, with all belongings and trash removed; when rooms or suites are left in poor condition, a cleaning fee will be assessed, appropriately divided between roommates or suitemates.

1. Alterations. Students may not make alterations to their rooms or suites, or to other University property. No lofts or partitions of any kind may be constructed. Ceiling fans, outside television antennae, air conditioners, and waterbeds are also prohibited. No furniture or equipment attached to the building itself may be removed. If alterations are made without permission, the University reserves the right to require restoration of the previous condition at the occupant's expense.

2. Painting. The painting or defacing of walls or woodwork in the bedrooms or common rooms of the student suites is prohibited. In addition, items may be attached to walls only with removable mounting putty, approved by the Office of Facilities; attaching items to walls by any other means is prohibited. Painting of entryways, hallways, entry doors to student rooms and suites, bathrooms, or any other part of a University building is prohibited. Fines for non-compliance and/or the cost of repair and repainting will be assessed by the Facilities Superintendent.

3. Entryways and Stairwells. No items of any kind may be stored in the entryways, hallways, or corridors of any dormitory. Bicycles, scooters, and other such vehicles left in entryways will be removed without notice; a fine will be assessed. Bicycles and scooters must be stored in designated areas and removed on move out.

Each student in residence in the Summer Colleges will typically be supplied with a bed, mattress, bureau or wardrobe, desk, and chair. The University does not provide computer desks or tables. A recycling bin is allocated to each suite. In addition, some rooms or suites are furnished with bookcases, fire screens, curtains, window screens, or storm windows. On move in, students should report any missing or damaged items in writing and within two days, ideally sooner, to the Summer Colleges Office. No University furnishings may be removed from student rooms or suites; they must be stored in the room to which they were assigned. If any furnishings are missing from rooms or suites at the end of a five-week session, students will be billed for replacement costs. Students who damage furnishings will be charged for repair or replacement. If it is unclear to the Facilities Superintendent who damaged items, all of the occupants of the suite will be billed for a share of the repair or replacement.

Violations of these regulations may also result in disciplinary action or other educational or administrative interventions.

Room Inspections

The University reserves the right to enter and to inspect any student room; inspections may be made without prior notice.

Fire Safety

It is crucial that all fires on campus, no matter how small, be reported to the Summer Colleges Office and by calling 911. This includes fires extinguished without the assistance of the police or fire department.

Access to fire exit doors must never be blocked; the automatic closure mechanisms must never be propped open. Occupants of any dormitory room in which either of these occurs will be fined $200 per occupant. No object of any sort may be placed or stored in entryways, corridors, or any other location where it might obstruct immediate access to a fire door or other exit. This includes bicycles and scooters, as well as other tripping hazards, such as extension cords. The University reserves the right to enter and inspect any student room without prior notice and to require students to move any obstructions to fire doors or other dormitory exits or to remedy other fire hazards. Any flammable or combustible material will be removed at the expense of the occupants.

1. Fire Alarms. All occupants are required to vacate the building in a timely manner when a fire alarm is activated, including when fire drills are being performed. Deliberately setting off a fire alarm when there is no fire is extremely dangerous and violates the laws of the State of Connecticut; a student who sets off a fire alarm will be fined at least $100, prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and referred for disciplinary action.

2. Fire Extinguishers. In the event of a fire, students should vacate the building, pulling the fire alarm as they leave, and call 911. Students should use fire extinguishers only if they have been trained in their use and can use them without presenting dangers to themselves or others. Students may not tamper with fire extinguishers, remove them from their proper stations, or discharge them except to put out fires. Students violating this rule will be fined at least $100, in addition to any clean-up costs that may be incurred; they will also be referred for disciplinary action.

3. Smoke Detectors and Sprinkler Systems. The smoke detectors in each room must be in working order at all times. Students are required to press the test button on the front cover of their detectors monthly; if there is no sound, they must report the malfunction to the Facilities Superintendent. If it is found that students have damaged, removed, or deliberately made their smoke detectors inoperative, occupants of the room or suite in which the detector is placed will be fined at least $200 each, and they will be referred for disciplinary action. Students may not tamper with the automatic sprinkler systems in dormitory rooms or in the Summer Colleges more broadly. Sprinkler heads and pipes must not be used to hang clothing, lights, decorations, or other items because such use could cause the system to activate, resulting in property damage. In order to ensure that they will function as designed in case of a fire, sprinkler heads must never be painted. Students who cause the unnecessary discharge of a sprinkler will be fined at least $100 and charged for the replacement of sprinkler heads, clean-up costs, and the repair or replacement of any damaged items. They will also be subject to further disciplinary action.

4. Cooking Appliances. For reasons of fire safety and because of limits on power capacity, only the following cooking appliances are permitted in dormitory rooms.

• small electric tea kettles
• Keurig-type beverage makers
• one of the following appliances: a microwave with a maximum output of 700 watts, a refrigerator with a maximum capacity of 3.1 cubic feet, or a combined microwave-refrigerator with a maximum output of 700 watts.

These appliances shall be plugged directly into the wall outlet. No power strips or extension cords will be permitted.

5. Prohibited Items. The following items are not permitted in dormitory rooms.

broilers	air conditioners, including portable units
candles and incense	appliances that are in poor condition or deemed hazardous by University officials
coffeepots	cork boards more than four square feet in size
freezers	e-scooters, e-skateboards, e-bikes, hoverboards, and similar battery-operated personal mobility devices
griddles	electrical appliances with defective wiring or of an improper current rating
halogen lamps	fabric or fishnet textiles hung from the ceiling or on more than 20% of the walls in a room
hot plates	flammable fluids and gases, such as kerosene, gasoline, and propane
rice cookers	kerosene lamps, camping cooking equipment, or other open-flame devices
toasters	live holiday trees and decorations
toaster ovens	space heaters, except when issued by Physical Plant in emergencies

Residential-grade extension cords and power strips are not allowed; only UL-approved, commercial-grade extension cords and power strips are permitted.

Draperies, mattresses, mattress covers, carpets, or wall hangings over four square feet in size must be noncombustible or have been treated with a flame-retardant material.

Holiday lights are limited to no more than three strings per room. They may not be plugged into each other to create a single string of lights, and they must be listed and labeled by a product certification agency, such as Underwriters Laboratories. No holiday lighting or decorations may be installed in stairwells or on the exterior of the building.

Fireplaces may not be used under any circumstances.

General Safety

While the safety of members of the community and the protection of University and personal property are a common concern of all members of the Yale community, each student is responsible for their own safety. Students are encouraged to read information on the Yale Public Safety website. The University particularly requests the cooperation of students in maintaining the security of the dormitories. Students should keep their own doors and entryways locked and their windows secured. They should report to the Yale Police Department (at 911 for emergencies or 203-432-4400 for non-emergencies) any activity or the presence of any person that they think might constitute a threat to security. The Yale Police Department should be notified immediately in the event of a theft or of any other crime. Students are responsible for not compromising their own security or that of others. Among the actions which endanger the community and for which students may be subject to fines or disciplinary action are those concerning the following:

• College Gates and Doors. Students should never tamper with or prop open gates or doors and should obey security postings at all times, for their own safety and that of their fellow students.
• Security Systems and Devices. Improper use of, tampering with, or vandalism of security systems and devices is forbidden.
• University Identification Cards and Keys. Students are not permitted to possess unauthorized identification cards or keys or to improperly give, lend, or duplicate them.

Summer Colleges Committee

The Yale Summer Session Summer Colleges Committee interprets, applies, and enforces Yale Summer Session's residential regulations. If students have questions or concerns about their individual circumstances, they should consult promptly with the Head of Summer Colleges for Yale Summer Session as Chair of the Committee. Before the start of the summer, students should contact Yale Summer Session at summer.session@yale.edu.

Amendments

Yale Summer Session, Yale College, and the University reserve the right to amend or supplement these regulations at any time upon such notice to students as they deem appropriate.
