Academic Information for Visiting College Students

- Two courses per session is the maximum enrollment if you opt to take Yale courses for credit.
Residential Information for Visiting College Students
Students taking part in any Yale Summer Session program may choose to live in one of the summer residential colleges. Yale students serve as residential counselors and provide support and assistance. Visit the student life page for more information about living on campus.
Academic Transcripts
An unofficial transcript or academic record is required as part of the application to Yale Summer Session.
- Visiting college students should submit a transcript of colleges/universities attended.
- All first year students should submit a high school transcript in addition to their college transcript.
The online application enables applicants to upload an unofficial copy of their academic transcript. All academic transcripts must show the name of the institution, dates of enrollment, and the subjects or courses taken, together with the units of credit or time allotted to each subject and the final grade. Applications are evaluated holistically, therefore, we do not have a GPA requirement.
Health Insurance
Visiting students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents will be required to provide evidence of health insurance with hospitalization coverage through a U.S. health insurance provider. You will upload this information into your online application.
Immunization Requirements
Yale University requires all students who enroll at Yale to provide proof of immunizations. You will not be permitted to enroll in classes until all the forms are submitted and the immunization requirements are met. Please see our immunization requirements for information and instructions for admitted students.
