Summer@Brown: Check In and Check Out
Pre-College Programs at Brown University – Summer 2009
Check-In and Orientation
An orientation packet with locations and times will be sent to your home address 3 weeks before the start of your course.
When To Arrive
Students check in between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on the Sunday before your program starts. Students will receive information about where to check in prior to the start of their program. Information about check in will also be available on our website. Students will be directed to the check-in location where they will receive their residence hall room keys, Brown I.D. card, orientation schedule, and a campus information packet.
Although students should make every effort to plan their travel to Brown based on a Sunday arrival, procedures are in place to accommodate Saturday arrival for those students who are arriving from long distances and need to work around flight schedules. There is a $150 early arrival fee for students arriving on Saturday. Permission for early arrival must be requested and approved in advance of the program. If you meet the early arrival criteria due to long-distance travel, please complete the . As buildings are in use throughout the summer, the rooms for specific programs may not be available until Sunday at 9 a.m.; therefore, any approved early arrivals may be housed in a different building than the one you will be assigned to on Sunday.
Campus Tours for students and their families are offered on Sunday at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. and 12:00p.m. Students and their families will receive information about campus tours when they arrive on campus.
Orientation for students and their families are offered on Sunday after students check in. Parents should plan to depart campus by 2:00 p.m. An orientation for students only will take place at 3:30 p.m. Commuter students are strongly encouraged to participate in all orientation activities. Orientation activities for students generally end by 7:30 p.m. Commuter students can be picked up at the Wayland House Arch at 7:30 p.m. An orientation schedule will be available on our website two weeks prior to your arrival..
Arrivals After 1:00 P.M.
Students should make every effort to arrive between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on the Sunday before their classes begin. Students who arrive after 1:00 p.m. must check-in at the Office of Residential Life (South Wayland House, 27 Brown Street). Any student who arrives after 9:00 p.m. will be housed in a different building on Sunday night.
When To Depart From Campus
Students may leave campus on Friday after attending their last class. Please note that some classes are scheduled to end at 6:40 p.m. Students who wish to depart on Friday after attending their last class must check out of the residence hall no later than 9:00 p.m. If class schedules or long distance travel plans necessitate staying on Friday night, you must register to stay until Saturday using our . Students will receive information about checking out of their room including where to return their room key prior to the end of their program but must move out of the residence hall by 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. As buildings are in use throughout the summer, the room you were assigned to during your program may not be available for your use as a late departure. Students staying until Saturday may need to move to another residence hall after their last class on Friday.
For Students Attending Back-to-Back Pre-College Course Sessions
We will make every effort to house students who are attending consecutive sessions of the same duration (e.g. 2-Week A to 2-Week B) in their original room assignment. However, you will have a new roommate. Students who are attending consecutive mini-course sessions of different durations (e.g. 1-Week session to a 3-Week session) will need to move into a different residence hall at the end of their first session. Students may not remain in their room because the residence halls will be used for another pre-college session. You are responsible for moving your belongings as residential staff are needed to check in students who are arriving for the next pre-college session. In most cases, the residence halls are located in close proximity to each other.
