TRUMBULL COLLEGE: January 20, 2026
Hi Trumbullians! Hope you’re staying warm and hope you had a nice long weekend. I often say that I love cold and crisp weather, but the wind today is a little rude. ;) These temperatures are reminding me of my hometown of Plattsburgh, NY! I used to walk everywhere I went, so I was good at bundling up. I was feeling a bit rusty this morning, digging for gloves and other winter accessories! Please bundle up and stay warm!
Add/Drop Period ends TOMORROW, January 21st at 5pm. Please be sure to read through the messages from the Registrar’s office carefully to ensure that you are fully enrolled in your courses (i.e. black checkmarks). As you finalize your course schedules, it is imperative that you make sure you’re on track to be in good standing at the end of the term. Be sure to review Yale Degree Audit. Over the weekend, I hope you spent a bit of time looking carefully at syllabi. Pro-tip: Mark the peaks of the term (on your GCal or a separate calendar) when you might have multiple exams/deadlines in a given week!
Please take a moment to scroll through the Dean’s Notes each week. There’s detailed info about how to handle course overlaps, overloads, underloads, professional school courses, etc. (i.e. many of the questions that come up during this time!). Of course, this will save us time, but it saves you from waiting for a response from me! :)
Repeating this from last week: 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 pop into my open Zoom hours 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!
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 Tuesday, January 20th (4-5pm) and Wednesday, January 21st (9:30-11:30am & 2:30-4pm).
Please note that I will be out of the office this Friday, January 23rd.

TC’27 and 5th term students: The 2026-2027 FroCo Application is due this Thursday, January 22nd @4pm.
ACADEMICS
Important Notes on Course Enrollment
The University Registrar’s Office (URO) has a helpful website devoted to course registration, at registration.yale.edu. You may find the “Yale College Registration” and “Registration FAQs” to be particularly useful; they even include written guides and video tutorials. If you still need help, stop by their office (246 Church St, 3rd floor) during URO’s walk-in office hours: Tuesdays & Thursdays 9am-4pm and Wednesdays 10:30am-4pm.
Add/Drop ends at 5pm EST this Wednesday, January 21st - the courses listed on your registration worksheet at 5pm Wednesday, Jan 21st will constitute your spring course schedule.
Canvas Worksheets and Registration worksheets are different! The Canvas worksheet – while useful for planning purposes – does not enroll you in courses. It only allows you to see the announcements and assignments of those courses during Add/Drop. To enroll in a course, you must include it on your registration worksheet. Read more in the Registration FAQs 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 21st 5pm). To request an overload or underload, make an appointment 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: To enroll in two overlapping courses, you must petition the Committee on Honors and Academic Standing through my office. Regardless of the course or reasons, it is always the case that:
* 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.
Failure to file a complete and timely petition may result in the loss of credit for both courses.
The length of the overlap permitted depends on the course format as described below:
(a) Two fully 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 partially synchronous course (e.g., a hybrid course with recorded lectures and in-person discussion sections) may overlap with one fully synchronous course, including for the full class meeting time stated in the course catalog, with the permission of both instructors, via petition to the residential college dean, so long as the final exams do not overlap. Note: all Yale College courses must have weekly, in-person instruction, and so fully asynchronous courses are not permitted.
(c) Two partially synchronous courses, as defined above in (b), 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.
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, before 5pm on Wednesday, Jan 21st. Do not just e-mail me the details, please.
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: Request to Enroll in a Professional School Course.
If you’re taking a School of Management course, you must also submit their own SOM form: review the information at https://som.yale.edu/programs/resources-non-som-students.
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: 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 required form(s) and the Registrar’s Office determines the course credits for that course based on 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/graduate-and-professional-school-courses-for-yale-college-credit.
See the YCPS for full details: https://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/special-academic-arrangements
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.
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: Yale Degree Audit is a tool that tracks your progress toward the bachelor’s degree. You can learn about – and access! – Degree Audit at https://registrar.yale.edu/student-records/degree-audit. Degree Audit displays the Yale College degree requirements that you have already completed and those that are still pending. A “Look Ahead” feature shows you how future course enrollment might apply toward your degree. If you believe that academic information in your degree audit is incorrect, contact our office.
