Summer Programs

Language Schools and Summer Programs - International Faculty and Staff

From this page, you can find the Forms and Resources you will need as an international faculty or staff member joining a Middlebury summer program. 

Whether you hold a current immigration status in the United States, or are in need of Middlebury sponsorship to secure a visa that will allow you to enter the U.S. and authorize you to work at Middlebury, all the forms and instructions you need can be found in this section.

We edit these materials on a regular basis and then publish the websites in a timely manner in preparation for our summer term.  Please see additional information in the sub-menu that corresponds with your potential visa status or circumstances.  

If you have questions after reviewing the available information on our website, please email isss@middlebury.edu.
