Courses in the Yale Summer Session
There is no limit on the number of courses in the Yale Summer Session that a student may offer toward the requirements for the bachelor's degree.
Attendance at the Yale Summer Session does not constitute a term of enrollment in Yale College. For example, a student accelerating by one term by use of acceleration credits may not offer attendance at the Yale Summer Session as one of the required seven terms of enrollment in Yale College.
A student accelerating by the early accumulation of thirty-six course credits all earned at Yale may count credits earned in the Yale Summer Session toward such acceleration. See "Acceleration by the Early Accumulation of Thirty-Six Course Credits All Earned at Yale" under the heading "Acceleration Policies" in this chapter.
Courses successfully completed in the Yale Summer Session may, with the permission of the student's director of undergraduate studies, be counted toward the requirements of the student's major program. They may also be counted toward any of the distributional requirements. The Credit/D/Fail option may not be used in Summer Session courses.
Unless the Registrar's Office is instructed in writing to the contrary, courses completed in the Yale Summer Session will be entered on the Yale College record. Once a course in the Yale Summer Session has been entered on or removed from the Yale College transcript in response to a student's request, that action cannot subsequently be reversed by the student. When a Summer Session course is entered on a student's Yale College transcript, both the course and the grade are recorded; the course may not be recorded without the grade. If a Summer Session course is entered on the Yale College transcript, it will be included in the calculation of the student's eligibility for General Honors and Distinction in the Major. For further information about Summer Session courses and transcripts, refer to the Summer Session Web site.
