<p>[Frequently</a> Asked Questions | Transfer & Other Programs | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/admit/other/whitney/faq.html]Frequently”>http://www.yale.edu/admit/other/whitney/faq.html)</p>
<p>"Are standardized tests required for admission?
The SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I) (CEEB code #3987) or ACT (Code #0618) is strongly recommended but not required for admission. Yale does not require the SAT II or Achievement Test results. For information about English language proficiency examinations, please see question below regarding international students.</p>
<p>How many of my college credits will transfer to Yale?
After you have been admitted, the Director of the Eli Whitney Program will inform you as to which previous course credits will transfer to Yale. As many as eighteen course credits earned at another college or university may be transferred toward the requirement for the degree. Credit will be awarded for academic courses that were taken at an accredited post-secondary institution and that were similar in content to Yale College courses. Grades of A or B are expected. No more than one-quarter of courses accepted for transfer toward the requirements for the degree may have grades of C.</p>
<p>How many credits are given for a Yale class?
Most courses in Yale College are term courses that carry one course credit if completed with a passing grade. There are, however, some variations and more details can be found in chapter III of the Yale College Programs of Study. One Yale College credit is generally equal to three or four semester hours at other undergraduate institutions.</p>
<p>Is there a minimum or maximum number of courses an Eli Whitney student must take in a term or year?
Students entering in the fall of 2007 and thereafter may choose to take up to nine course credits each year, and must take at least three course credits each year to remain in good standing. International students who hold F-1 student status for this program must register as full-time students at all times which is the equivalent of at least 3 courses per semester.</p>
<p>If I am admitted, may I take any of the courses listed in the Yale College Programs of Study (YCPS)?
Yes, if you are an Eli Whitney Student you may take any course offered, provided prerequisites are fulfilled and you are otherwise qualified. Some courses are limited in enrollment or require the permission of the instructor, but you will be treated in these cases on an equal basis with other Yale undergraduates."</p>
<p>[Note: </p>
<p>Eli Whitney students can transfer up to 18 course credits, at 3-4 semester hrs/course credit, that means about 54-72 semester hrs can be transferred.</p>
<p>Eli Whitney students can take up to 9 course credits per year, regular Y students usually take 4-5 credits per semester, 8-10 per year.]</p>
