1:
When can my student return to campus for the fall semester?
A:
New students:New students arriving early will not be admitted to their rooms unless they have been invited to participate in pre-arrival programs, such as preseason athletics or International Student Orientation.
Returning students:Each year, upper-class students are permitted to arrive on campus the Saturday before classes start. They are strongly discouraged from arriving earlier and will be charged $200 per day in addition to their meal costs if they do so. The meal plan for upper-class students begins with dinner on the Saturday evening before classes start.
2:
After final exams in the fall and spring, when does my student have to leave campus?
A:
Students must vacate their rooms within 24 hours after their last exam. Failure to do so will result in a $200-per-day fine.
3:
Is the College open during vacation periods?
A:
During the fall term, there are breaks in October, November, and December. Students are allowed to remain on campus during the October and November breaks, although Dining Services closes for some portion of the November (Thanksgiving) break. The College completely closes during the December break; dining halls are closed as well. Students may request permission from their Commons dean to remain on campus at that time; however, those approved to stay must provide their own food.
During the February and March breaks, students may stay on campus and eat in the dining halls. Only students who register for winter term may reside on campus during winter term.
4:
How can I find out the appropriate dates for travel arrangements?
A:
We often receive requests from students to change their final examination schedules because they have purchased non-refundable plane tickets that require them to leave campus before their exams are finished.
We remind students that their academic obligations must come first; we do not issue examination changes in order to accommodate travel plans. We encourage students to book their return flights only after they know their examination schedule. Students who must book flights in advance should make arrangements to fly after the last examination of the semester is given; this information is available up to three years in advance in Middlebury's College Calendar online at www.middlebury.edu/calendars.
