Each program has a dedicated check-in window, typically during the morning of the first day of programming. If you are unable to arrive within your program's allotted check-in window, Summer Programs staff will be available to assist you in the lobby of 160 Massachusetts Avenue until 5:00 PM EDT (unless otherwise noted below).
The policies for late arrival vary depending on program. Please read the late arrival details for each program type below:
Programs Beginning Monday or Tuesday
If unforeseen delays during travel prevent you from arriving before 5:00 PM EDT on the first day of programming, you must:
- Send an email to the Summer Programs Advising team at summer@berklee.edu to let them know:
- your name
- an email address and phone number where you can be reached while traveling
- the program you are registered for
- your new arrival time
- a request for a check-in appointment the following day during business hours (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EDT). An advisor will follow up with you to offer you available check-in appointment times.
- If you are staying on-campus, report to the Housing Department on Berklee's main campus, located at 150 Massachusetts Avenue, to receive your housing assignment.

Berklee is not able to accommodate late arrivals past 5:00 PM EDT on the first day of any programming beginning on a Friday. Students who arrive after 5:00 PM EDT on the first day of programming beginning on a Friday will be withdrawn and refunded according to the published refund schedule.
