ACADEMICS
Course Selection Reminders
A course schedule of fewer than 4 course credits and as many as 6 course credits requires my permission before the schedule is handed in. If this is your plan, see me before the deadline for your course schedule.
Class meeting times may not overlap by more than 15 minutes and require a conversation with me, compelling academic reasons for the overlap, and a petition to the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing.
A course schedule with a course in The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences that is also not listed in the blue book or in a professional school requires an additional form, which is available in the TC Dean’s Office and at www.yale.edu/sfas/registrar/

SUMMER
INTERNATIONAL BULLDOGS ON eRECRUITING. The UCS International Bulldogs program offerings are now posted on eRecruiting. To view listings, simply conduct a 'One Click' search. The application deadline is January 31. Check www.yale.edu/career
Summer Traveling Fellowships sponsored by Jonathan Edwards College. Deadline: Friday, January 30, 5:00 PM. Applications are available in J.E. Master's Office. Competition for the Summer Traveling Fellowships is open to juniors (or students for whom 2009 is their final summer) in Yale College who give evidence that their educational experience would be significantly enhanced by a project of independent study and/or research outside of the continental United States. The selection committee always expects the proposals to be for independent projects, although it occasionally allows accompanying enrollment in a formal program of study (not supported by the Fellowship). The general statement from the candidate should outline the nature of his/her project, the relevance of the travel abroad to its completion, the planned itinerary, and the arrangements made or research undertaken in advance to prepare for the travel experience. Each project will be judged for its coherence and originality, and for its connection with the candidate’s previous educational experience and future goals. Proposals will also be assessed according to whether the objectives of the candidate appear to be achievable within the time limits of the proposed travel, which would normally exceed one month, and whether the budget is realistic. The selection committee normally does not fund projects that involve only performance, such as musical concerts or participation in athletic competition. Foreign students normally are not given grants for projects conducted in their home countries.
