Parent and Family Information
New Student Orientation is an exciting step in the journey of every new Middlebury student. While we communicate directly with students about New Student Orientation, we know that families may want information about how to be supportive during this time of transition.
If you’re a parent or other trusted adult of a new Middlebury student, remember that Middlebury communicates primarily with students. You can see all orientation communications by either asking your student to forward you their emails, or by referring to this site. We upload the text of every email after they have been sent.
Be sure we have your email address so that you can receive parent and family email communications.
Family Orientation
Families are included in some in-person events on Move-In Day. Our orientation pages will have more information, including detailed schedules, closer to the start of Orientation.
Fall Family Weekend
Fall Family Weekend is an opportunity for families of both Fall start and Febs to visit Middlebury’s campus and participate in academic, social, cultural, and athletic events.
Supporting Your Students
The Dean of the First-Year Experience has helpful information for families who want to support their students during this time of transition.
