    • from Yale departments when the meeting is limited to Yale students.
    • from Yale student groups when the meeting is limited to Yale students.
    • from summer academic programs.
    • from term-time academic programs.
    • from multi-week summer programs with overall fees.
  • Fees will be collected:
    • from Yale student groups hosting a conference where participants are from outside the Yale community.  Forward questions to the Yale College Dean’s.
    • from groups external to Yale who are sponsored by a Yale department for use on weekends.

A non-refundable reservation fee of $75 will be required of all groups required to pay fees.
