Refund Policies
Yale Summer Session will refund tuition and room and meal payments according to the terms listed below. No refunds will be made unless we received appropriate written notification. A Yale student's Student Financial Services account will be credited.
Tuition
A full tuition refund will be issued if a student notifies the Summer Session office, prior to the start of the session in question, of their intention not to attend courses in that session via the Change Form on the Summer Session website.
A. If a student drops a course or withdraws entirely from Yale Summer Session by 4:00 p.m. Friday of the first week of classes of a given session, 100% of the tuition will be refunded or credited.

Room and Board
Once a student is in residence, he or she will be entitled to a partial room and meal refund only by vacating the room by Friday at 4:00 p.m. of the first week of classes. No refunds will be made after this time. The student will be charged the rate for room and meals for each of the days in residence.
