2024 Information Coming Soon
We are currently working to update this article with relevant information for Summer 2024. Please revisit this page later in the season to access more details on this topic.
Below is the information from last year:
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 PM ET (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 PM ET 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 AM - 5 PM ET). 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. Moving into your room is not the same as checking in for your program. You still must schedule a check-in appointment with a Summer Programs advisor during business hours to formally check in and participate in your program.
Programs Beginning Friday
Berklee is not able to accommodate late arrivals past 5 PM ET on the first day of any programming beginning on a Friday. Students who arrive after 5 PM ET on the first day of programming beginning on a Friday will be withdrawn and refunded according to the published refund schedule.
