New Hours for Study Abroad Staff
Please see the contact page of the IEFP site 
(http://yale.edu/iefp/contact/staff_year.html?mm=8) 
for the updated appointment and walk-in times for 
Susan Coleman and Karyn Jones.  Give the office a 
call to schedule a meeting with one of the 
advisors (432-8684).  As of next week, walk-ins 
will only be held on Tuesday afternoons (2-4) and 
Thursday mornings (10-12).  An additional two 
hour block of walk-ins will be added in the next couple of weeks.

 From JYA/JTA to Year or Term Abroad
To reflect the addition of 2nd semester sophomore 
study abroad, we've change the name of the study 
abroad program on our web site to Year or Term 
Abroad.   Please remember, that despite the fact 
that Junior Year or Term Abroad will still show 
up in Yale publications this year, students can 
also study abroad in the 2nd semester of their 
sophomore year (see the announcement from April 
http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/sophomore_announcement.html).

"It was my best semester at Yale
"
Friday, September 8th was the date of our Welcome 
Back Reception for returning study abroad 
students.  It was great to see so many returnees 
and to hear their exciting stories from all 
around the world
 Europe, the Middle East, Latin 
America, Africa, Asia, and the South 
Pacific!  Prospective study abroad students can 
find many of the returnees on our peer advisor 
list.  Thanks to all who attended and welcome 
back!  We look forward to hearing even more about your time abroad.

Spring 2005 application deadline:  University College London
The first Yale application deadline is fast 
approaching.  If you will be studying abroad at 
University College London in the coming spring 
semester, you must submit both your UCL and Year 
or Term Abroad applications to the Yale's 
Committee by Friday, September 22, 2006

Other spring deadlines can be found at: 
http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/faq.html?mm=1#deadlines. 
Please note that program/foreign university 
application deadlines differ from Yale's internal 
deadline, so check the program web sites to make 
certain you don't miss those deadlines.  IEFP 
advice is to always apply well ahead of deadlines 
as sometimes programs fill early (this is 
particularly true of SIT programs!).

Do you have a passport?
If you don't have a passport and plan on 
traveling abroad (for study or other activities) 
next semester, or in summer 2007, you should 
apply soon.  Information about the application 
process is available at 
http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html. 
Don't delay!  It can take up to 6 weeks (possibly 
longer) to get your passport after submitting the 
application to a passport acceptance 
facility.  If you are worried about how long it 
will take, you can choose the expedited service 
option.  See the State department web site for a 
listing of passport acceptance facilities and 
other information about the application process.

New Format -- Study Abroad Approved List
If you've not visited the Regions section of the 
study abroad web site since this summer, take a 
look at the new and improved program 
listings.  The listings now include information 
on program eligibility, Yale's course load 
requirements for each program, program deadlines, 
and other important information.
