The Center for Health and Wellness offers a variety of health services and counseling to students participating in our Vermont campus summer programs. Students have access to a 24/7 remote care choice called TimelyCare. Students may call the Nurse Triage Line at (802) 443-3290 to discuss health concerns and assess care options. Counseling services through Middlebury Counseling will be available—please call (802) 443-5141 or email counseling@middlebury.edu if you would like to speak with a counselor.

Obstetrical Care: Porter Women’s Health is available to care for Language School and Bread Loaf students who are pregnant during their time in Middlebury, on a limited basis. For women who have established pregnancy care prior to the summer session, Porter Women’s Health requires all records to be received and reviewed prior to scheduling an appointment. They have limited slots available for routine prenatal visits, so specific schedule requests may not be possible. If you do require routine prenatal care while in Middlebury, most of the obstetrical care is provided by Certified Nurse Midwives.

If your pregnancy is considered “high risk”, we encourage you to discuss with your health care provider whether you should consider delaying your study for this session.  If you enroll in this session, we encourage you to establish care with the Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic at the University of Vermont Medical Center (1 hour away in Burlington, VT). If you are scheduled to be in Middlebury at the time of your anatomy ultrasound (usually done between 18-22 weeks of pregnancy), we recommend traveling home for this, if possible, or having your provider order the ultrasound at the Fetal Diagnostic Center (located at the University of Vermont Medical Center). Please remember to travel with copies of your most up to date records. Emergency care for pregnancy-related complications is available 24 hours/7 days a week via the Porter Hospital Emergency Department and Birthing Center.

Mail

Due to the short term of the Language Schools’ session, it is recommended that you notify individual senders of your temporary address, rather than forwarding all of your mail through the United States Postal Service. Both packages and letter mail may be picked up at the Student Mail Center in the McCullough Student Center.

The mailing address for all students who are not Middlebury College undergraduates is:

Your name (i.e. Jane Smith)

14 Old Chapel Rd (Middlebury ID #)

Middlebury, VT 05753

The Mail Center recommends using UPS if a signature is required to track or insure the contents of a package. If you receive a package, you will receive an email to your Middlebury College email address after it has been processed. You will not be notified if you receive letter mail. The window hours are Monday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. You will be required to show your Middlebury ID card.

Please note: The College cannot accept packages that arrive before the beginning of the session. First class mail and packages will be returned to sender after your departure from Middlebury. Newspapers, magazines, and junk mail will be recycled.

Outgoing Mail

You may purchase stamps at the College Bookstore or at the MiddExpress Store. In addition, the Middlebury Post office is located on 10 Main St. for larger packages or extra services.

The Mailing Services office in the Freeman International Center (FIC) is the central shipping point for UPS. Students, faculty, and staff may ship personal packages from this office Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. You must have a credit card with you in order to process any type of shipment.
