Acceleration and Acceleration Credits

The rules governing the use of acceleration credits, explained in the Academic Regulations section of the Yale College Programs of Study, are complex, and exceptions are not allowed. Students considering acceleration should make a point of reading the full text of the subsection “Acceleration Policies.”
