You may only select one of the Yale Summer Session Programs Abroad in your online application. As the number of seats is limited in each program, admission cannot be guaranteed. Students who are not admitted into their chosen program will be given the option to either be placed on the waitlist of their chosen program or select a Yale Summer Session Program Abroad with spots still available, if applicable. For this reason, all applicants are encouraged to have a backup plan. Yale College students should consider applying to a Non-Yale Summer Abroad program as another option.
Applications are reviewed to ensure that students meet any eligibility requirements and pre-requisites of the chosen program. Academic records and application essays are considered during the review process. Admission is also contingent on any individual student disciplinary matters. Applications from visiting university students are welcome. However, preference is given to Yale College students. The YSS Programs Abroad Committee makes the final admissions decisions.

FAQ: How should I plan for summer 2023 if I'm interested in studying abroad?
- Check your eligibility.
- Be sure to mark study abroad deadlines on your calendar.
- Refer to your intended destination country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and/or Embassy website for detailed entry requirements. In some cases, even if the Yale Travel Policy allows for travel to a particular location, the destination country itself may limit entry based on the traveler’s citizenship and where the traveler has been, including transit countries.
- Meet with a study abroad adviser if you wish to discuss your plans and receive support for choosing a program that matches your goals and interests.
- Discuss your plans with your family.
- Take note of passport processing times. Routine processing for U.S. passports can take 8-11 weeks. If you currently have a passport, make sure it is valid for 6 months after the date of your return.
FAQ: Do I need to be vaccinated and boosted to go on a YSS Program Abroad?
Yes. You are required to be fully vaccinated and have the most recent booster shot against Covid-19 in order to participate on a YSS Program Abroad.
