How to register for graduate and professional school courses

Courses in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences: Undergraduates may enroll in an unlimited number of courses in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and most graduate courses are open to undergraduates with permission of the instructor and the director of graduate studies. Students simply enter a graduate course on their registration worksheet.

Courses is Professional Schools: Students may receive four course credits from professional schools. Students should enter the course on their registration worksheet for zero credit, then during the Add/Drop period complete a Request to Enroll in a Professional School Course (Blue Form) to receive permission of the instructor and professional school. If approved, the University Registrar’s Office will award appropriate course credit.

Courses in SOM require an additional request form found on the SOM website. Details can be found here.

Note: The award of course credit in professional schools differs from the graduate school and not all courses in professional schools yield a full course credit in Yale College.  See Special Academic Problems under The Committee on Honors and Academic Standing. For a list of graduate and professional school courses not approved for Yale College credit, refer to the University Registrar’s website.
