2. Housing & Travel Policies  top

Summer Housing
Living and dining with educators from many states and other countries is an unparalleled opportunity to exchange ideas, educational perspectives, and methods. Residence with these new friends will enhance your classroom learning. This is an essential and rich dimension of the Cambridge College summer educational experience. Therefore, summer residence on-site is required for all NITE students (optional for Massachusetts students).

This section outlines housing policies and facilities you may expect in your summer residence. Cambridge College students are expected to abide by all policies and procedures of our host college.

Residence Halls & Rooms
Residence hall rooms are plain and basic, with double occupancy; bathrooms are shared. There are no private bathrooms on campus.  Cambridge College and our host site try to accommodate our students’ basic needs as much as possible, but cannot provide all the comforts of home or meet all needs.

Room assignments - Rooms are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. Priority is given to students with certain medical conditions requiring such features as wheel-chair access, or single occupancy. A written letter from your physician is required at least a month before check-in day if you require these accommodations. There are very few single rooms; priority must be given to students with medical needs.

Room Changes and Refunds — If, after having arranged for room and board on-site, a change of plans becomes necessary, the College must receive your written request no later than one calendar month before check-in day. No changes or refunds will be made after you arrive on campus.

No spouses, children, or significant others are allowed on site (host college campus or any other facilities Cambridge College may use) unless they are enrolled in a Cambridge College program. Married couples may share a room only if both are enrolled.

Please make arrangements for child care off-site, as children are not allowed on-site at any time. Parents/ guardians are responsible for child care and supervision at all times.

No pets of any kind are allowed in the rooms or on-site.

Cleaning — Students are responsible for cleaning their own rooms. If the room or suite has a bathroom within the suite, the students are responsible for cleaning it.

Damage and loss — Students will be charged for the cost of all damage to rooms, including lost room keys and clean-up of smoke.

Early Arrival
Students arriving the day before check-in must arrange and pay for their own accommodations. Discounts may be available at selected local hotels. Before you depart, call the NITE Housing Office at 1-800-877-4723 ext. 1175 for current information, or go to the NITE website and click on Housing and Travel.

Off-Site Housing
Out-of-state students with extenuating circumstances may request from the Housing Director for written permission to stay off-site and commute to the summer classes and activities. Please email your request to residence@cambridgecollege.edu. Only medical and family reasons will be considered; documentation is required. You must make your own arrangements for housing, transportation, and payment. Cambridge College is exempt from all liability for students who stay off-site.

Commuting — Students staying off-site are responsible for their own transportation to the place they are staying, and for daily transportation to and from the host site. (Local Cambridge College students taking summer courses are responsible for their own transportation.)

Financial aid — After students have paid for offsite accommodations, the cost may be reimbursed with a federal student loan. Documentation is required by the Financial Aid Office before a loan may be written:
• Off-site housing approval letter signed by the Housing Office.
• Proof from an off-site agency of rental paid.
• The printed receipt must show the amount paid, date, and student’s name.

Please remember that all students are required to stay on campus unless they get written permission to stay off-campus. Only medical and family reasons will be considered. For more information contact the Housing Office at 1-800-877-4723 ext. 1175 or residence@cambridgecollege.edu

Residential Services & Activities

Cafeteria & Meal Plan
The meal plan is included in the room and board charge and is not optional. All students on the meal plan may eat in the cafeteria: three meals are served daily Monday-Friday, on Saturday and Sunday a morning brunch and an evening meal are served. Meal times will be available in your Welcome Booklet upon arrival as well as posted in the cafeteria.

If a special diet is required for medical reasons (e.g. food allergies, diabetes), a detailed written request from your physician is required for us to accommodate you within reason. Some vegetarian diets may be accommodated; weight-loss diets cannot be accommodated.

The meal plan is optional for commuting students.  If students eat outside the cafeteria, they are responsible for the cost.

Health & Medical Concerns
Cambridge College is for working adults; students are responsible for their own medical and health care. During the Summer Institute a registered nurse is on duty at our host site to provide limited health care services. Hours will be available in your Welcome Booklet upon arrival as well as posted in the cafeteria. Cambridge College does not provide any other medical or health care services.

Medical care — Please check with your home physician and arrange for any medical care needed during the Summer Session.

Prescription medications and medical supplies — Bring in your carry-on bag at least five weeks’ supply. (Do not ship or put in checked luggage.)

Transportation to medical and health services — In the event of a medical emergency, staff on site will call an ambulance to take you to the nearest emergency room (at your own expense). Please call a taxi at your own expense for transportation to other medical and health services, and pharmacy.

Immunizations for NITE — Massachusetts law requires certain immunizations before arriving on campus. See instructions and policy on the form, provided with your application or in the acceptance packet.

Personal Expenses
Personal checks — Cambridge College and our host college accept personal checks for payments (driver’s license and student ID required). However, neither college cashes personal checks. Local banks cash travelers checks and provide ATM machines. They do not cash out-of-state personal checks.

Bounced checks — Fees for any checks returned by the bank will appear on your student account.

Bring with you enough cash and travelers checks for activities, snacks, memorabilia, field trips, etc. Bring checkbook or credit card for books etc.

Students may arrange their own trips and tours to museums and historical sites, whale watches, etc. Consult travel books and the Internet. Students are responsible for the cost of all such activities. Cambridge College is responsible only for trips and activities arranged by the College. The College is not responsible for activities and trips organized by students.
