We're excited that you are interested in a Year or Term Abroad! Before applying, please be sure to:
TOC: Application Process
Note: This is a two-part process. You must apply for both admission into your program and to Yale for approval to study abroad. These are separate application processes and can be done simultaneously.
Note: Application Exceptions
- If applying to Balliol College, Oxford University, complete the following application instead of the Year or Term Abroad application:
- If you would like to apply for approval to attend a program that is not on Yale's designated list, please see our guidance on petitions.
The Year or Term Abroad application is a non-competitive process. Applications are reviewed for eligibility with no cap on the number of students who can be approved. The Year or Term Abroad application consists of:
In addition, as part of your Year or Term Abroad application, you will be asked to discuss your plans with your Residential College Dean and Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) and to send them forms to complete on your behalf:
Point:We recommend that you schedule meetings with your Dean and DUS well in advance of the deadline so that we receive all parts of your application on time.
If you are hoping to attend a program that is not found on Yale's designated list, do not submit the Year or Term Abroad application. Instead, you should review the petition process and submit a Year or Term Abroad Petition for a Program not on Yale's Designated List.
Your Year or Term Abroad application is due the semester before your intended program starts.
