606.1 Eligibility for Yale Summer Programs

i. A participant must be
a regular full-time employee
OR
a regular part-time employee who is scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week and who has completed six months of service immediately prior to the start of the course.
ii. Employees are expected to meet full work requirements of their regular jobs while participating in the Summer Programs. Therefore, decisions regarding the granting of release time and/or adjusted work schedules remain with the employees' supervisors.

606.2 Application to Yale Summer Programs

  1. A candidate must meet the academic requirements for admission to the Yale Summer Programs.
  2. A staff member may enroll in one or two courses during a summer term. Applicants will be admitted to courses in compliance with prevailing policies of the Programs.
  3. Those who participate in the Program for Special Students will also be required to submit an application and an application fee for the Yale Summer Programs. Although their admissibility to the Programs is ordinarily unquestioned, their admission to courses with limited enrollment or prerequisites is subject to the same restrictions as is the admission of other students.
  4. Additional information and applications for enrollment may be obtained from the Office of Summer Programs.

606.3 Reduced Tuition for Employees in Yale Summer Programs

The staff member, once admitted to the Yale Summer Programs, may apply for reduced tuition at the Benefits Office. When approved for reduced tuition, the staff member will pay one-half of the currently established tuition per course. The amount of tuition reduction provided the part-time staff member will be prorated equal to the staff member's regular work hours divided by 37.5.
