May I leave campus during the week or have visitors?

Summer Bridge is a "Closed Campus" program. In order to ensure students' safety and for the students to obtain the greatest benefit from the program, students will stay on campus from Sunday through Thursday. Students are allowed to stay in the residence hall on weekends only if their home is a great distance from campus or if they are participants in the Renaissance Scholars Program.
Students check-out of the residence hall every Thursday by 8:00 p.m., and check-in by Sunday at 6:00 p.m. (not before 5:00 p.m.). Families may visit their students' room at check-in and check-out each week. There are no visitation hours during the week.

May I work during Summer Bridge?
