Summer Mailings

Over the summer, the Yale College Dean's Office sends two important mailings through the U.S. Postal Service: one around May 15, and one around July 20. If you do not receive these mailings within a reasonable amount of time, please contact the Office of Freshman Affairs at freshman.affairs@yale.edu. Be sure to include your complete address.
