Previous Announcements
Summer Academic Programs—Language Schools
It is with deep disappointment that we announce that the Middlebury Language Schools will not be holding our on-campus session for Summer 2020. This includes our locations in Middlebury and Bennington, along with our graduate sites in Buenos Aires and Paris. We will, however, be offering a credit-bearing online learning experience for this summer in select levels depending on interest.

Summer Academic Programs—Bread Loaf School of English

We want to follow-up on the news that Middlebury sent out today, announcing our decision not to offer face-to-face programming this summer at the Bread Loaf campuses. We, of course, will all feel the loss of community this summer—of that glorious coming together that inspires so much creativity and understanding.
Update on Grading Policy
| by Jeff Cason, Sujata Moorti, and Suzanne Gurland
We write to update you on the status of the College’s grading policy for this semester. This morning, the faculty voted in favor of an Opt-In Credit/No-Credit, course-by-course system. For spring 2020 only, you will have the option to take as many of your current courses as you wish on a Credit/No-Credit basis. If you don’t choose Credit/No-Credit for a particular course, that course will remain letter-graded. You have until May 8 to invoke Credit/No-Credit for any of your courses, using an electronic form provided by the Registrar’s Office. You will have a window of time from May 9 to May 19 in which you may revoke any Credit/No-Credit decisions. There will be a notation on the spring 2020 section of all transcripts conveying to outside audiences that a “Credit” should be interpreted as a reasonable response to these extraordinary circumstances, and not as indicating diminished rigor.

As recently announced by Professor Suzanne Gurland, Dean of Curriculum, and Jen Thompson, Registrar, the College is delaying fall registration until mid-summer. You also heard from the Residence Life Office earlier this month that room draw for the fall semester has also been delayed.
