Your health and well-being are essential to your success as part of this community. Student Services is here to help you find the health-related resources you need to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
Physical and Mental Health
TimelyCare
As an enrolled Middlebury Institute student you have access to TimelyCare for the duration of your program, giving you access to a wide range of physical and mental health services 24/7/365, from most locations (some restrictions do apply). Learn more at go.miis.edu/timelycare.
Emergency Contact Information and Resources

Health Insurance
Students enrolled in long- or short-term programs are required to have health insurance. To meet this requirement, you must ensure you have health insurance by the first day of each semester. Learn more about obtaining health insurance, review resources and helpful information to inform your plan selection, and learn about some California-specific options here.
Disability Services
The Institute recognizes and supports the standards set forth in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, which are designed to eliminate discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities. The Institute is committed to making reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities as required by law.
Health101 / Campus Well E-Zine
Campus Well, provided by Middlebury, is a targeted and customized site that provides articles, resources and guidance on a variety of health-related topics. Students are encouraged to explore the site and sign up for a monthly digest of articles to support overall well-being and positive mental health. The section with resources about mental health may be especially useful.

Middlebury College Offerings
Middlebury College has a number of online programs and self-guided resources that are available to all Middlebury students, including those at the Institute.
- Health Coaching
Health educators based in Vermont are excited to partner with students across Middlebury programs to support health and well-being. Health coaching involves supporting students as they set goals, name challenges, unearth values & strengths, and access intrinsic motivations to develop and sustain healthy behaviors and attitudes. Students can schedule up to two follow up appointments with a health educator for a total of three coaching sessions. Health coaching is never a replacement for medical care or mental health counseling and is not appropriate to address crisis or emergency situations.
