We're Here for You

Advisers can help you identify goals for your study abroad experience and guide you through thoughtful program selection. Advisers also can clarify the application process, credit transfer, and financial resources, as well as provide pertinent pre-departure information. Advisers remain available to you before, during, and after your study abroad experience.

General Advising

While each adviser specializes in specific locations, it is okay to schedule a meeting with any adviser if you have not yet identified where you would like to go. We welcome you to schedule a study abroad overview appointment for general advising.

Schedule Study Abroad Overview

Note: London School of Economics Summer School Advising

Before scheduling an advising appointment for the London School of Economics (LSE) Summer School, please read the entire LSE program page, including the section on how the ISA works for LSE. After reading the program page, you are welcome to schedule an advising appointment if needed with Kathy Trputec or Marcus Alaimo, or ask your questions via email, if you have any additional questions that are not answered on the program page.

For ISA information visit: isa.yale.edu.

Schedule an Advising Meeting

Appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes. Yale Study Abroad staff are working in a hybrid schedule with some days in the office and some days remote. For this reason, most advising appointments are conducted via Zoom.

Before meeting with an adviser, we encourage you to review the Get Started section of our website.
