Your Next Steps
Congratulations on your acceptance to Yale Summer Session! We're excited to have you join us on campus this summer. This page contains important things you need to do and think about after being admitted, but before you arrive at Yale this summer. It is important to monitor the email that you used in your application for important next steps. If you are not receiving emails from our office after admission, please contact us.
Pay Your Tuition and Other Fees
Once you are admitted to Yale Summer Session, an invoice for your tuition, housing, etc. is automatically generated. See how to pay your tuition and fees, our payment deadlines and more information on our Tuition and Fees page.
Contact Student Accessibility Services as Needed
Yale University is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities in order to provide equitable and inclusive learning environments. If you are a student with a disability and would like to request disability-related accommodations, the first step is to register with Yale Student Accessibility Services, where you can include information about your situation and upload supporting documentation. If you’ve previously been approved for accommodations at Yale, you simply need to renew accommodations for the summer term. Accommodations require early and quick planning in Yale Summer Session and are not provided retroactively, so please make contact as soon as possible.
Residential Accommodations
A student who requires a disability-related housing accommodation must complete the Student Accessibility Services (SAS) Accommodation Request form. Additionally, a Student Accessibility Services Housing form must be completed by the student's treating medical provider and submitted to SAS as supporting documentation. Information from medical documentation will only be shared with the appropriate Yale administrators when indicated for health and safety reasons.
A timely response is important. Once a room assignment has been made it will not be possible to change it.

Session A: Monday, April 21, 2025
Session B: Monday, May 19, 2025
Many physicians have busy practices, and it can take time before they complete and return the required Student Accessibility Services Housing form. It is important that you contact your treatment provider well in advance of the deadline so that you can submit your request for housing accommodations with the appropriate documentation.
Food Allergies/Medically Prescribed Dietary Plan
Yale Summer Session students who live on campus will dine in one of Yale's dining halls. When you are dining with us, we take your food allergies seriously and want to be considerate of your dietary needs. Students with food allergies must notify the University, through the Student Accessibility Services (SAS) so that plans can be made for necessary dietary considerations in dining halls.
Complete the Student Accessibility Services (SAS) Accommodation Request form to begin the process of establishing a dietary plan and provide supporting documentation outlining your needs to SAS when you submit the Accommodation Request form. If you have religious dietary needs, please email hospitalitynutrition@yale.edu.
Arrange Your Travel Plans to New Haven
See our travel information to learn how to get to the Yale campus, located in downtown New Haven, Connecticut. Make sure you check program dates and housing check in dates before you make your plans. If you are an international student coming on an I-20 issued by our office, please be sure to allow time to get your F-1 student visa! You may not arrive early or stay late in our on campus housing, and you may not attend on a tourist visa.
International students will also have to do an immigration check in with the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) upon arrival. You'll be given more details about when and how to check in.
Pack Your Bags
June is usually sunny and warm, and July and August are generally hotter and more humid months. Check the weather forecast for what the weather will be like when you are here. Students usually dress casually and comfortably. Bring a light sweater or light jacket for cool evenings. You may want to bring something nice for a special event or night out.
If you are living on campus, your room will have a bed, a desk, a chair, and a light. Bring a fan, towels, pillow, blanket and sheets (twin, extra-long) or buy them when you get here.
Please note that Yale's residential colleges are not air conditioned.
