Returning for Next Term
Here is what the Spring 2025 term will look like:
Check-In
Most students returning (who were here for the fall term) will be asked to move in on the dates provided below. If your on-campus employment requires that you arrive earlier than those dates, you must secure permission in advance from the Office of Student Life. Any student who arrives prior to opening without advance permission will be referred to the conduct process and a fine of $200 per day. Students who need housing accommodations prior to their arrival date due to extenuating circumstances should reach out to housing@bennington.edu.
