If I am a new international student and cannot arrive in New Haven by September 30th, what are my options?

  • If you already have a US bank account, you can study remotely in the fall by registering in absentia. Your stipend will be paid by direct deposit. Stipend checks are paid bi-weekly on the 15th and last day of the month. Your first check will be August 31st.
  • If you do not have a US bank account and agree to have your stipend checks held for you until your arrival, you can study remotely in the fall by registering in absentia
  • If you cannot satisfy either of the two criteria above, you will have to defer.
