It may, depending on any number of circumstances, including weather. Check the Reunion website regularly and please be sure to read the Reunion-related emails that we send periodically, as those will contain the latest information.

That depends. Pets or companion animals are not allowed overnight in College-owned buildings or in non-residential spaces during work hours. Dogs visiting campus shall be leashed or under verbal control at all times. They can not be left unattended or tied to structures. Damages caused by an animal are the responsibility of the owner. You can find more details in Middlebury’s pet policy.

Middlebury uses the Department of Justice definition of service animals as “dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.” 

Service animals shall be allowed into any area of the campus that students or other handlers may go including the classrooms, libraries, museums, dining halls, etc., but must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

Please read the full service animal policy for more information.
