Update on Grading Policy for Study Abroad Students, Spring 2020

April 24, 2020 | by Carlos Vélez

Last Friday, Middlebury faculty voted to implement a Credit/No-Credit grading system at the undergraduate College for the current spring semester. This was done in recognition of the impact of the pandemic on our students and faculty. In consultation with the Office of the Provost and the Office of the Registrar, we have decided that the optional Credit/No-Credit grading will also apply to all students attending the Middlebury Schools Abroad as well as to Middlebury students participating in externally-sponsored programs. The Pass/D/Fail option in place will no longer be available.

Financial Update from President Laurie Patton and EVP David Provost

April 23, 2020 | by Laurie Patton and David Provost

We write now with a small view into our financial future. Before we do, we thought it worth reminding you of our current fiscal state. In an earlier note we described how we are projecting a $13.0 million deficit for this year ending June 30, 2020, having been hit hard by the stock market downturn and a number of other factors. These include our obligation to refund unused room and board for undergraduates as well as fees from Study Abroad students, expected shortfalls in philanthropy, and lost revenue from auxiliary sources like the ski areas and bookstore as they needed to close early.

Plans for Summer Academic Programs

April 17, 2020 | by Jeff Cason

With academic continuity underway through remote instruction for the remainder of the spring semester for both our Vermont and California campuses, as well as the Schools Abroad, we have now turned our attention to plans for Middlebury’s summer academic programs. Our summer schools and programs provide our undergraduate and graduate students with expansive opportunities, and we want to continue as many of them as we can for the 2,000-plus who typically take advantage of them.

Summer Academic Programs—Language Schools

April 17, 2020

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.
