Program Changes
As you may know, we have closed our programs in Xalapa, Mexico, and Tucumán, Argentina.  We still have six programs in Chile, two in Argentina, three in Brazil, and one in Uruguay. Visit the School in Latin America website for more information.  

Withdrawal Fee Change
The post-confirmation withdrawal fee has increased from $400 to $500 effective for Fall 2013. As you may know, we eliminated the enrollment deposit effective Spring 2013. Once accepted, students will use the “Commit” function on the on-line application to confirm their participation in the program.  When committing, students will now be informed that they will be assessed a $500 withdrawal fee if they withdraw from the program after confirming their spot.  If your students are responsible for paying their bill directly to Middlebury, s/he will be sent a bill requesting the $500 payment.  If you normally pay Middlebury on behalf of your students, please be aware the this $500 withdrawal fee will be assessed and sent to your institution to pass along to your student.

Students at the Middlebury program in Florence who are majoring or minoring in Studio Art may now enroll in courses at the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arti. Visit the School in Italy website for more information.
