TRUMBULL COLLEGE: January 13, 2025
I hope this finds you doing well on this first day of classes! As I mentioned in my December note, we went to England for a couple of weeks to visit Dr. Singh’s sisters and their families (between them, I have five nephews :)). Last year, we spent a week in London, but this time, we spent the whole two weeks in Birmingham, and it was so.much.fun. Lots of family time – card games, video games, bowling, amazing food, etc. My parents and sister were there for the first week, too. My brother-in-law signed me up to give a talk to Sikh youth about my career journey while we were there – I spoke about mentorship, and it was fun to have my older nephews in the crowd.
We had some travel issues on the way back, where our Wednesday flight was ultimately cancelled, and we came back the following day. When we got settled in our hotel and were eating a late dinner, we saw the news flash about the fires in California. Some of you might be directly affected and others may have loved ones in the area – please know that I’m here for support, particularly as you navigate your academics during this early part of the term. My thoughts are with you.
As we start the Spring term, weekly Dean’s notes will now resume, and this issue is full of a lot of useful information and pertinent deadlines. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to at least take a QUICK look through our once per week e-mail. There are a lot of folks on campus who send RC deans blurbs, since we send out these weekly newsletters. I know these e-mails are often long, but please know that they’re organized into sections. Scroll all the way to the end to make sure you don’t miss anything. Unless there’s an academic deadline or something else that’s particularly urgent, Alice and I truly only send ONE e-mail per week, typically on Monday.
Add/Drop is a busy time for me. I try my best to be available and responsive, but I need some help from you: 1) Please take note of my OPEN ZOOM HOURS (see below), 2) Please %20alice.kustenbauder@yale.edu">cc Alice on e-mails, particularly those with academic questions, 3) If you have a bunch of questions, it’s much faster to meet with me rather than waiting for an e-mail response, and 4) Stop by the office – Alice can answer many academic questions…and we have snacks! Thanks, and have a wonderful week!
JUNIORS and students in their 5th term of enrollment: Please scroll down for info about the FroCo application (due Jan 23rd) and a FroCo info session TOMORROW Tuesday, Jan 14th at 6pm in the Fellows Lounge (2nd floor of Entryway K).
Meeting with me: Please take note of my OPEN Zoom hours (below)
To make an appointment, please use the Calendly scheduling tool, https://calendly.com/dean_c, or reach out to Alice with any scheduling issues. For in-person meetings, please come to the office. We’re right here in Trumbull G104, which you can access across from Entryway A or through Entryway G. Zoom meetings (including open Zoom office hours) will be through my Zoom page: https://yale.zoom.us/my/skchandhoke.
My OPEN ZOOM office hours for each week are listed on the top of my Calendly page. When you click on the Zoom link, you will be placed into a waiting room. I will speak to students (one-on-one) in the order they “arrive.” My upcoming open hours are (tentatively) on TUESDAY, Jan 14th (9:30-10:30am), WEDNESDAY, Jan 15th (3:30-4:30pm), THURSDAY, Jan 16th (4:00-5:00pm), and FRIDAY, Jan 17th (10:00am-12:00pm). Please check the little blurb on Calendly for my latest open Zoom hours.
ACADEMICS
Important Notes on Course Enrollment
The University Registrar’s Office has a helpful website devoted to course registration, at registration.yale.edu. The “FAQs” and “Important Dates” are particularly useful! There are even video tutorials for using your registration worksheet!
The Add/Drop Period continues through this week, but ends promptly at 5pm (ET) on Wednesday, January 22nd. During Add/Drop, you may add courses (if the course is open or you have permission to enroll) and drop courses within Yale Course Search without a fee. When Add/Drop ends, the courses on your registration worksheet at that 5pm on January 22nd will constitute your spring course schedule. After Add/Drop, late adds are exceptional and rare.
Canvas Worksheets and Registration worksheets are different! The Canvas worksheet – a useful scratchpad for planning purposes – does not enroll you in courses. It only allows you to see the announcements and assignments of those courses during Drop/Add. To enroll in a course, you must include it on your registration worksheet. Read more in the Registrar’s FAQ on distinguishing the two worksheets.
Overloads, Overlaps, Professional School Courses, and Other Petitions
Course Loads Requiring Special Permission: A schedule of 3.0 course credits or a schedule of 6.0 or 6.5 course credits needs Dean Chandhoke’s permission before the end of Add/Drop (January 22nd 5pm). To request an overload or underload, make an appointment with me as soon as possible. NOTE: Requesting an overload also requires you to complete an online form: Petition for Credit Overload (Yale College).
Course Overlap Information: Enrollment in courses that overlap in meeting times is generally not permitted. If you find you MUST enroll two overlapping courses, you must petition the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing through my office. The rules governing overlaps depend on the type of courses that overlap: namely, whether they are “asynchronous” or “synchronous.” Please see below for details. But regardless of the type of course, it is always the case that:
* there must be sound academic reasons for such an overlap
* petitions to my office are due by the end of Add/Drop period;
* no more than two courses may overlap;
* the express permission of both instructors is necessary, but not itself sufficient, for approval;
* the two final exam times, as given in Yale Course Search, may not overlap.
Synchronous/Asynchronous Overlaps
An asynchronous course (as below) refers to a course approved to have a period that does not require in-person meeting at the same time; a synchronous course refers to a fully synchronous course.
(a) Two synchronous courses may have a small and insignificant overlap in meeting times (i.e., no more than 15 minutes once per week, including travel times), with permission from the instructors of both courses, via petition to the residential college dean, so long as the final exams do not overlap.
(b) One asynchronous course may overlap with one synchronous course, including for the full class meeting time, with the permission of both instructors, via petition to the residential college dean, so long as the final exams do not overlap. There still must be an in-person component of the asynchronous class (i.e. section).
(c) Two asynchronous courses may overlap with each other, including for the full class meeting time, with the permission of both instructors, via petition to the residential college dean, so long as the final exams do not overlap. There still must be an in-person component of the asynchronous class (i.e. section).
To petition, here’s what you need to do:
1. Confirm that the final exams for the two courses are offered at different times.
2. Explain how enrollment in the two courses is possible, despite the conflict in published meeting times (refer to the information above).
3. Secure both instructors’ explicit (written) permission to take the two overlapping courses
4. Fill out the Petition for Overlap Online Form with all of the relevant information, including the instructors’ permissions. Do not just email me the details.
Professional School Courses: A schedule with a course in a professional school requires an additional form for each course to finalize enrollment and determine Yale College credit:
* If it’s a School of Management course: use the SOM Course Enrollment Request and add the SOM course to your registration worksheet (it will appear as 0.0 credits)
* If it’s any other Professional School course: use the Request to Enroll in a Professional School Course
The deadline to submit these forms is the end of Add/Drop (January 22nd 5pm). More “how to” details are at https://registration.yale.edu/resource/how-enroll-graduate-and-professional-school-courses.
NOTE: Only four professional school credits can be offered toward the 36 credit requirement; however, students may enroll in more than four credits understanding that all courses will remain on the academic record and be included in the GPA even if not offered toward the 36 credit requirement.
NOTE: Courses at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and at a professional school cannot elect the CR/D/Fail option.
NOTE: Graduate or Professional School courses cannot count for Distributional Requirements.
Full policy details are in the YCPS: https://registrar.yale.edu/students/course-selection/enrolling-graduate-and-professional-school-courses-credit.
Credit for these courses on your transcript: When you put a Professional School course on your schedule, zero (0) course credits are recorded for the course until you submit your completed SOM or Request Form and the Registrar’s Office determines the course credits for that course after that. Some courses earn 1 course credit in Yale College and some earn 0.5 course credits (most commonly in SOM and EPH). Some do not earn credit. See historical determinations at https://registrar.yale.edu/students/course-selection/enrolling-graduate-and-professional-school-courses-credit.
Independent Studies: (Directed Reading, Directed Research, etc. as listed by most departments). There are limits on the number that a student can enroll in during a given year and over four years. Enrolling in an independent study requires the additional permission of a Director of Undergraduate Studies. See the YCPS for details: http://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/course-credits-course-loads. Such courses may not be used to fulfill any distributional requirements. Independent study courses, other than senior projects and certain other courses designated for A-F grading by the department offering the course, are graded Pass/Fail. Students cannot petition for a conversion from P/F to A-F; only the department or program offering the course may do so (see https://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/grades).
Double credit: If you are interested in petitioning to earn double credit in a single-credit course, please read the relevant section in the YCPS, and then consult with me. The deadline to submit this petition is Midterm, but I recommend that you do so well before that date.
Yale Degree Audit: Access Degree Audit through Yale Hub. Degree Audit displays the Yale College, major, and Certificate requirements that you have already completed and those that are still pending. You may find the “Look Ahead” feature helpful as you finetune your Spring courses; it shows you how future course enrollment might apply toward your degree. If you believe that information in your degree audit is incorrect, contact our office.
