Student Boundaries

For students’ own safety, Summer Springboard requires students to stay within a prescribed boundary.
You can view the boundary map here
Students are allowed outside the Housing complex between 7:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m., but they must stay within the assigned boundaries.
Outside these hours, students must be inside/on campus unless they attend official programming that requires them to be elsewhere.
If students are found outside the boundaries, these privileges can be revoked for the entire student body. Repeat offenders can be dismissed.
While on excursions, boundaries will also be set, and students may not leave these boundaries.
If students find themselves lost at any time, they should immediately call their Resident Mentor or Campus Director for assistance.

MIT Campus Supervision + Excursion Groups of Three

When on campus, students will be supervised by staff for the entire duration of the program and may not explore the campus without Summer Springboard supervision.

Whether on an excursion or off-campus, students should never travel alone. Students must always travel in groups of three or more.

Socializing

We encourage students to spend time together during the program; however, the following boundaries must be maintained:

Commuter students may not enter dorm rooms. Students may socialize in the dormitory courtyard, lounges, or other common areas where program activities take place and under supervision.
Students are not allowed to enter the sleeping quarters of any room not assigned to them, unless given direct permission by a Program Staff member. Doing so will result in consequences that could lead to dismissal from the program.
During evening events, residential students may socialize in a dorm suite of their same gender, in the courtyard, or in other common areas designated for Summer Springboard use.
To ensure the safety of all participants, male students are not permitted in the rooms or in dormitory areas designated for female students and vice versa. Any student found violating this rule may be sent home at his or her expense.
Only Summer Springboard students and staff, and MIT Campus staff are allowed in Summer Springboard dorm areas
