Fall 2024 Registration
Updated March 2024
Please see the Online Placement Test & Preference Selection page first for instructions on the Placement Test and Preference Selection process that will be happening in March 2024.
When Registration for the Fall 2024 Semester opens this April 2024 you may “Request Instructor Permission” through Yale Course Search in order to place in a different section. Please remove from your registration worksheet the section that you do not wish to attend, so that it may be offered to another student. You should NOT remain on the lists of two sections at the same time.
When the Add/Drop period begins in August for all YC & GSAS students, you should “Request Instructor Permission” through Yale Course Search for the desired section. Submitting a permission request is the only way to be placed on the official waitlist for the course. Since you will not be attending the original section in which you enrolled, please remove your name from that section on your Registration Worksheet at that time, so that it may be offered to another student. You should NOT remain on the lists of two sections at the same time.
Starting on the first day of class, Wednesday August 28, 2024, we encourage you to attend the section in which you hope to have a confirmed place. Please understand that, due to enrollment limits on the class, we cannot immediately guarantee or confirm your enrollment in that section. You should attend class for that section every day, even if you do not have confirmed enrollment.
During the first week of classes, the section instructor will let you know if and when there is, indeed, a place for you in your desired section. The instructor will then grant formal approval to those additional students who are being admitted for enrollment to the course. Once the instructor approves your Instructor Permission request on Yale Course Search, you can complete the registration by clicking “Confirm Changes” on your Registration Worksheet. The Add/Drop period ends on (date and time TBA).
