The College Store is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday hours vary and will be posted at the entrance to the store or e-mailed for special events. The College Store is owned and operated by Middlebury College, and the store staff are Middlebury College employees. Any revenues earned by the store are used to cover operating expenses, and any remaining profits are placed in the general fund of the College.

Required textbooks and course supplies are available at the store both new and used, based upon faculty requisitions. A wide variety of other books, supplies, and Middlebury clothing and gift items is also available. A discount on most personal purchases is available to members of the faculty and staff by showing your MiddCard staff ID. We accept cash, checks, and Visa/MasterCard as forms of payment. A fee will be charged for checks returned to the College for any reason.

Pricing Procedures : All items, including textbooks, are sold at or below the manufacturer's or wholesaler's suggested retail prices. Used books are sold at 25% less than the new price. The store will not knowingly sell above suggested retail prices.

Refunds or Exchanges : Cash register receipts are required for returns, refunds, or exchanges. Returns and exchanges on textbooks must be completed before the end of the first week of classes: Friday, September 14, 2007 , for the fall term, and Friday, February 15, 2008 , for the spring term. Returned items must, of course, be in acceptable, resalable condition.

Textbook Buyback : The College Store now buys back textbooks daily. When you are finished with your book bring it to the College Store and we can determine the current buyback value for your book. The best time to sell your books for the most money is during or at the end of finals week each semester, when we will then be buying books for the upcoming term. Fall Buyback is December 7-18, 2007, Spring Buyback is May 9-23, 2008. During the semester we offer a wholesale price for your books if a wholesale value is available. The College Store welcomes suggestions, comments, complaints, and questions, which should be directed to the store manager. Input from the community is helpful to the staff in its continuing efforts to improve both service and the selection of products offered.

MAIL SERVICES

Middlebury College maintains a campus system for the pickup and delivery of U.S. Postal Service mail and interdepartmental correspondence, as well as a mailing service, which assembles and processes all classes of mail into the U.S. Postal Service system, along with package shipping via United Parcel Service. Urgent items are sent via Federal Express, UPS next day, or U.S. postal express. The Student Mailroom does not save magazines over the summer break.

Mail Forwarding and Handling Procedures

Student Mail

Academic Year Breaks: First-class and parcel-post mail and magazines will be held. Newspapers and catalogs will be recycled.

Summer Break: First-class and parcel-post mail will be forwarded. Magazines, newspapers, and catalogs will be recycled.

Departure from Campus: First-class and parcel-post mail will be forwarded for one year. Magazines, newspapers, and catalogs will be recycled.

Items delivered by services other than the U.S. Postal Service will be accepted and held during academic year breaks but will be refused and returned to the sender, with the recipient's home address noted on the package, during summer break and after departure from campus. (Exception: Packages are held pending the arrival of new or returning students.)

Faculty/Staff Mail

Mail received for a person who has terminated or is on leave should have the forwarding address put on each piece and be deposited in the outgoing mail. Do not batch these pieces in one large envelope for which additional postage must be paid. When you know the forwarding address, contact the Mail Center supervisor who will give you a supply of preprinted labels.

It is the responsibility of each individual to inform his or her correspondents and publishers of a change of address, whether permanent or temporary.

Mailing Service, Lower Forest East

Outgoing Mail and Packages

Mailing Service processes all outgoing mail for the College, eliminating the need for postage stamps. All mail to be metered should be bundled, with foreign (including Canada) and Middlebury mail on top. The departmental Index to be charged should be marked in the upper right corner of the first piece in each bundle. Bundles should be securely banded. Keep interdepartmental and stamped mail separate from mail to be metered. Only mail pertaining to College business can be processed through the postage meter. Personal mail should bear postage stamps purchased by the sender. All mailings that require labeling, inserting, and/or bulk mail processing should be scheduled with the manager of Mailing Service. Packages related to College business can be shipped via UPS during regular business hours. Personal packages can be brought to Mailing Service from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. You must pay for this service with a MasterCard or Visa card. No cash will be accepted.

Faculty members who are officers of legitimate professional academic organizations may use the College Reprographics and Mailing Service for the organization's official business (e.g., preparing mailings, etc.). College business always takes priority, however, and all work should be planned well in advance. Organizations will be billed through the Middlebury faculty member, who must be authorized to obligate the organization.

Mailing Service offers end of year shipping in May at a designated location which will be published the first week in May to all students.

PRINTING SERVICES (REPROGRAPHICS)

Photocopying and printing take place in the Reprographics facility located in Lower Forest East. Preparation services include artwork, disk conversion, and layout. Production is performed on a variety of photocopiers, both color and b&w, offset presses, and folding and binding equipment. We strongly recommend calling ahead before placing an order. College departments are requested to honor necessary lead times for services at least two days for routine photocopy services and one to two weeks for printed materials. Normal charges for provided services will be assessed to user departments throughout the year.
