We eagerly anticipate your arrival, and we look forward to the contributions you will make to our community while you are here. Through this Web site and other publications that will be mailed to you over the summer, we hope to provide you with the essential practical and academic information you need during the next few months as you prepare for your freshman year.

If you have not done so already, please begin by completing the online housing form. The information you provide on this form will be used by your residential college dean to make housing assignments, which will be mailed to you in late June. Note also the application forms for Directed Studies and Perspectives on Science (which are due on June 9), application information for our preorientation programs, and the preregistration procedures for chemistry, English, mathematics, and the Freshman Seminar Program.

This Web site also provides links to chapters and sections of the Freshman Handbook, which will be mailed to all freshmen in the middle of May. (See the tabs "Planning Your Move" and "Academic Information" at the top of the page. You can also download a full-length PDF version of the Handbook.) In late July, we will also send and post on this Web site the Calendar for the Opening Days of College, which describes the many meetings and events that take place during freshman orientation.

If you still have questions after reading these publications, feel free to call the Office of Freshman Affairs at 203-432-2907 or send an email to freshman.affairs@yale.edu.
