Newark is a small college town whose Main Street bisects the campus. Many shops and restaurants, a movie theatre and a bowling alley are within walking distance from classroom buildings or residence halls. Christiana Mall is located a few miles away and can be reached by public transportation.

Residence Halls

Meet the Summer College Staff!

Summer College students live in air-conditioned dormitories that are within easy walking distance of academic buildings and social facilities. A professionally-trained hall director and program assistant staff provide a community environment in the residence halls that promotes respect for individual differences while supporting personal growth and academic success. Available facilities are a study room, laundry room, kitchenette, and a large common lounge.

At the daily night check, students must be on their single-sex residence hall floor, where they remain for the rest of the night.

Room Assignments
Students share a fully-furnished double-occupancy air-conditioned room. Males and females are housed separately and have limited visitation privileges.

So much to do!
An important part of a Summer College student’s experience takes place outside the classroom. Day trips to nearby cities and beaches, plays, concerts, museum trips, and films are some of the recreational and cultural events available to participants. Informal activities give students occasions for meeting new people, relaxing, and having fun. Pizza parties, dances, game shows, a coffeehouse, and a talent show are all part of Summer College. Students may also participate in sports activities organized by the residence hall staff and may use the University's tennis, basketball, and racquetball courts, as well as other sports facilities. Here are a few of the activities Summer College students enjoyed in 2007:

• Day trips to New York City, Washington DC, and Rehoboth Beach
• Foreign Film Nights
• Wacky Olympics
• Rubber Chickens Improv
• Dance/Karaoke
• Battle of the Sexes
• Musical Mondays
• Tie-Dye Party
• Board Game Night
• International Foods Night
• Ultimate Frisbee
• Swimming
• Talent Show
• Sand Volleyball Tournament

Private Music Study
Information
Private Music Study will be provided in cooperation with the UD Community Music School in the Department of Music. Students may opt for either 6 or 10 one-half hour lessons to be provided during the course of Summer College. Lesson times will be arranged so they do not conflict with the student’s course schedule. Practice rooms will be available for use between lessons. Students must provide their own instruments. The University of Delaware does not rent or sell instruments.

Fees and Schedule
The fee for 6 lessons is $168; 10 lessons cost $280. A non-refundable deposit of $50 is due on May 31, 2008 to secure a slot for lessons. The balance is due on June 15, 2008. Students will be contacted by their instructors to set up a mutually convenient lesson schedule prior to the start of Summer College. Students should bring the methods book/materials they currently are using, but please be aware that instructors may request them to purchase additional materials for private study.

Enrollment and Attendance Policies
Much like Summer College courses, students are expected to attend each lesson. Teachers will not be required to make up a lesson canceled by a student unless 24-hour notice is given. Due to time constraints of Summer College, no more than one make-up lesson will be given. Any missed lesson due to a teacher’s absence will be made up at a mutually convenient time.

Withdrawals must be made prior to the second week of classes (week of July 20) and must be submitted in writing to the Summer College Program Coordinator and Community School Director in order to receive a refund. Non-attendance or verbal withdrawal to an instructor does not constitute official withdrawal. The date of withdrawal will be considered to be the date when written notice is received in the Summer College and Community School offices. Material fees are non-refundable. Students who discontinue instruction after the withdrawal date will be responsible for the tuition for the entire term.

Dining
Meals are provided in a campus dining hall. Several snack bars, the Trabant Food Court, and the Perkins Student Center “Scrounge” are also available. All Summer College students have a meal plan and “points,” which allows them to buy snacks and lighter meals outside the dining hall.

Cars
For the safety of Summer College participants, students are not allowed to operate motor vehicles or keep them nearby while they are in residence at Summer College.

Plug in to Delaware!
We are often asked, “Do I NEED a computer at Summer College?” Former students state having access to a computer makes things much easier at Summer College. Computers are used for homework; lab reports; writing essays and papers; keeping in touch with friends, family and professors (many use it to communicate with their classes); and conducting research for research projects, etc. Although there are several computer labs on campus, these generally are not open late at night in the summer. So when it’s 2 AM and you need to finish that paper, a computer (or a gracious neighbor with a computer) can come in quite handy!

All Summer College students are given temporary e-mail accounts at the University and will be instructed on how to use them, either on their own computers or at the computer labs that are available to them.

If you decide to bring a computer to campus, please make sure it has an Ethernet card for high speed connectivity to our campus network from residence hall rooms, the library, and many academic buildings. The main lounges of the residence halls have wireless connections. You will need a wireless LAN card or built-in wireless capability to take advantage of this type of connection.

Safety
The campus is considered very safe, and crime is rare, particularly in the summer. Statistics can be checked at the UD Public Safety Web Site. To protect our students, however, all residence hall doors are locked and can only be opened with a special magnetic access card limited to staff and students. Visitors (other than family) are not allowed in the residence hall. To discourage theft, we urge that bicycles be secured with a strong U-lock at all times and that residents lock their residence hall rooms whenever they are not present. We also recommend that students not bring large sums of cash or other valuables to Summer College.

Code of Conduct
Participation

The Summer College Code of Conduct is sent to all families and their students for their consent and signature at the time of admission.

in the University of Delaware Summer College program is a privilege and requires a commitment to maintain the highest academic and social standards. As a member of the Summer College community and the larger University community, you are expected to make a positive contribution to the program by acting responsibly and by respecting the rights of other Summer College participants. As such, you are required to abide by all applicable federal, state, and city laws as well as the rules and regulations set forth in the Summer College Code of Conduct, which has been established for your benefit and protection and that of the University of Delaware community. We, in turn, will offer you a living-learning environment that approximates what you will face as an entering freshman.

As a participant in a University of Delaware program, you are bound by and expected to familiarize yourself with the University of Delaware Code of Conduct and the Residence Hall Regulations. Please note that some Summer College policies are more stringent than the University’s and students will be held to the Summer College standards. Where stated, the University of Delaware will adjudicate violations and may report incidents to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
