Our application is now open.
You will select the courses you'd like to take in your online application. Because of the condensed nature of the summer courses, there is no shopping period during Summer Session. In addition, the window for changing courses is very short. Once you are admitted to a course, you will receive grades unless you drop the course or withdraw by filling out a form online. If you need advice on whether YSS courses fulfill requirements for your Yale College degree, see your academic advisor. For advice on YSS course selection, please contact the Dean of Yale Summer Session.
Search courses by department and distributional requirements.
Yale Summer Session offers financial assistance to Yale College students on financial aid. In addition, Yale College students may also be eligible for additional financial assistance. See Financial Assistance for more information.
Yale College students may also apply to be a member of the residential life staff. As a Residential Counselor, students receive free room and board for the orientation period and the ten weeks of summer session, plus a tuition waiver for the equivalent of one summer course credit. Other residential life staff positions with varying levels of compensation are available. Applications for Summer 2023 staff are closed.
