Middlebury Handbook

United States and Vermont disability laws do not apply overseas, and programs and/or institutions abroad may not offer the types of accessible facilities, accommodations, or support services that students typically receive in the United States. Prior to their departure, students with documented disabilities should contact the College’s Disability Resource Center (ada@middlebury.edu) with sufficient advance notice to help them investigate the availability of resources abroad. Costs for adaptive equipment and personal assistants are the student’s responsibility. Mobility International USA (541.343.1284; http://www.miusa.org) is an excellent resource on travel for people with physical disabilities.
