WHAT TO BRING

You will need to bring at least two

blankets, two twin sheets, two

pillowcases, towels and washcloths.

(Pillows are provided for you, but

you may want to bring your own

pillow.) Other items to consider

include mattress pads, lamp, throw

rugs, and comforter. Linens are

not provided, please pack

accordingly!

Because we are located on a lake,

the evenings can be cool; therefore,

an extra blanket and warm

clothing are a must. (Daytime

temps during the summer range

from 70 – 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Night temps are 50 – 70 degrees.)

Dorm rooms do not have air

conditioning. You may bring an

AC unit if you have a medical

reason. Please bring a fan to make

you more comfortable on hot days

and/or nights. We do have a

number fans available to loan out if

needed. First come first served.

Students at Bellinger Hall

Most rooms in Bellinger Hall

and Lincoln Dorm are dou-

bles; however, some rooms are

triples and quads. Each room

contains two standard size

twin beds (unless the room is a

triple or a quad), two desks,

two wardrobes/closets, and is

connected to another room by

a bathroom with two sinks,

toilet and a shower.

There are four coin-operated

washers and dryers in the

basement of Bellinger Hall

north wing. There is a change

machine available as well.

Small fridges are allowed in

the dorm rooms but keep them

small as space is limited! No

microwaves allowed. Please

be aware that we do not have

cable hook-up in the rooms.

There are TV’s in the lounges

of the dorms that have cable.


RESIDENCE HALL INFORMATION The Chautauqua Summer Schools offers two housing facilities, Bellinger

Hall and Lincoln Dorm. Lincoln Dorm is a girls only facility, and Bellinger

Hall has a men only wing, two women only wings and one coed wing. You

may indicate your preference on your registration forms that you receive

once admitted into the schools.

Residents are responsible for the cleanliness of their own rooms and are

expected to cooperate in keeping public areas free of litter. Cleaning equip-

ment is available in central locations of the dormitories. Cleaning person-

nel are employed to help with the general cleanliness of bathrooms, corri-

dors, lounges, and community areas. They are not a maid service!

S e c u r i t y / R o o m D e p o s i t

The $100 security deposit is a place-holder for a student’s room and is re-

fundable in-full if space is no longer available when the deposit is received.

Part or all of the deposit is returned to the student in September, following

a final inspection for any or all damages incurred in the dorm room, re-

gardless of responsible party, as well as area of study (i.e., music not re-

turned, books not returned to the Art School, etc.)

Residence Hall Supervision is provided by counselors who live in the

residence halls and who have authority to enforce the institution policies

and regulations. Students enjoy a high degree of personal freedom and

responsibility because Chautauqua is a self-contained village. The 360-

acres are entered through monitored gates. Chautauqua maintains 24-

hour security, which enforces Institution rules, as well as local, state and

federal laws.

Keys:

Counselors will issue keys upon check-in. Bellinger Hall keys are swipe

cards, Lincoln Dorm keys are actual keys.

Room changes will be allowed during the first week only!!! You must notify Sa-

rah Malinoski-Umberger, Coordinator Student Services and

Brad Nunn, the Director of Residence Halls in order to change. We need to know

which room everyone is in for safety reasons.

Medical Info and Meal Plans

In addition to the Registered Nurse who has office hours in Bellinger Hall during the summer, we also have the Westfield Hospital Chau-tauqua Health Care Clinic, located on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution, which offers basic med-ical care for children and adults, similar to that provided in a doc-tor’s office. The center offers treat-ments for minor medical emergen-cies and provides wellness services such as health checkups, allergy shots, prescriptions, etc., plus free blood pressure screening. The clinic is located at 21 Roberts Avenue, near the Amphitheater. The clinic is open Monday-Friday 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-4 p.m. during the summer season (716/357-3209). For all emergencies that require further attention, Chautauqua Insti-tution is located about 10 miles from Westfield Memorial Hospital (716/326-4921), about 15 miles from WCA Hospital in Jamestown, NY (716/487-0141) and about 35 miles from St. Vincent (814/452-5000) and Hamot Medical Center (814/877-6000), both located in Erie, PA. All costs incurred by a medical visit to either the clinic or to a hospital will be at the expense of the student. The main office in Bellinger Hall will be happy to as-sist any student in making an ap-pointment to the clinic or if a stu-dent needs a ride to a nearby hospi-tal.

MEAL PLANS

All students who live in Bellinger

Hall and Lincoln Dorm will auto-

matically be enrolled in our full

meal plan. This plan includes

breakfast, lunch and dinner seven

days a week. There is no option to

opt-out of the meal plan.

The food service in Bellinger Hall

operates very much like a food

court. Because we are using the

food court set-up, there will be

vegetarian offerings at every meal

for any student. “Vegetarian”

meals are not vegan meals.

There are no cooking or food

storage facilities in the dormi-

tory. If you have questions on our

food service or its offerings, please

contact us and we’ll do our best to

help you. You may bring a mini-

fridge to keep in your room.

Meal hours (subject to change):

Breakfast...............7:30 – 9:30 a.m.

Lunch..........11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Dinner...................5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Gate Pass Information

All students must have a gate

pass, which allows entrance to

and exit from the Chautauqua

Institution grounds and permits

free admission to all perfor-

mances in the Amphitheater,

including popular entertain-

ment acts, symphony, dance

and the distinguished lecture

series. Full-term students receive

their gate pass as a part of tuition

and fees. Gate passes are distrib-

uted to full-term students at reg-

istration. All student gate passes

are required to have a photo ID.

The pass also doubles as the stu-

dent’s meal pass. Gate passes are

the “lifeline” to Chautauqua! Stu-

dents should carry the gate pass

with them at all times. If a gate

pass is lost or misplaced during a

student’s stay at Chautauqua,

there will be a $25 replacement

fee. Please see Sarah Malinoski-

Umberger, Coordinator. of Stu-

dent Services, if you lose it.

Resident guest passes are

available to Chautauqua residents

and students for entertaining their

friends on the grounds. They are

not valid for Amphitheater entry.

RGP’s are $3.00 a piece

RGP’s may be ordered by any resi-

dent or student holding a long-term

gate ticket. The gate ticket must be

presented when ordering an RGP.

Ticket holders who do not reside

on the grounds may not purchase

resident guest passes.

RGP’s are valid for six hours between

the hours of: 11:30 a.m. and 12 mid-

night, Monday to Thursday, Fri-

Parking

Chautauqua is a self-contained,

walking community with shop-

ping, bookstore, mail, and other

services conveniently located with-

in the grounds. Besides hosting

the Summer Schools of Fine and

Performing Arts, Chautauqua In-

stitution is a resort, designed as a

center for a learning vacation.

Because Chautauqua is considered

to be a resort (think artistic

“Disney World”), the use of auto-

mobiles within the grounds is

highly restricted because of the

narrow, Victorian streets and con-

cern that the noise of traffic would

distract those attending activities

held in outdoor facilities.

Bicycles are a popular form of

transportation; however, it is ad-

visable to bring a bicycle lock. Bi-

cycles may be rented (not cheap)

from Jamestown Cycle Shop’s

Chautauqua location (716-357-

9032).

Bestor Plaza at night

Parking is available in protected

lots adjacent to the grounds.

There is a courtesy bus service

within the Chautauqua grounds.

If you are planning to keep a vehi-

cle here during the summer, we

advise you to purchase your park-

ing permit in advance by filling

out the parking permit form which

will be emailed to you in the

spring. Doing this in advance

will save you a lot of time, we

can’t stress this enough! Your

permit will be given to you at reg-

istration if you order in advance.

Parking permits may also be ob-

tained upon arrival at the Main

Gate ticket office.

Parking tickets will be issued

to those who do not park in

their designated spot. If prob-

lem persists, the vehicle will

be towed and/or confiscated at

the owner’s expense.

Parking Permit Rates:

7 Weeks $85

(music, art and dance)

8 Weeks $90

In the event that a student has left the pro-

gram by reason of a violation of Institution policies, the Institution reserves the right to refuse re-entry into the program in any subsequent year.

SPECIFIC PROHIBITIONS The following specific prohibitions apply to all of Chautauqua’s Summer School students: Electrical heaters, hot plates, and other electrical cooking appliances: They are a

Rules and Regulations Rules for Students 18 and Older

Quiet hours are observed throughout the grounds beginning

at 11 p.m. until 8 a.m.

Students or guests 18 and older are not permitted in rooms with any

student ages 17 or younger.

If leaving the grounds for an extended period of time, it is advisable to

notify your counselor and the main office.

Rules for Students under 18

Students or guests under 18 are not permitted in rooms with any

student ages 18 or older.

Students under 18 living in residence halls may not leave the Chau-

tauqua grounds without permission from parents. This requires writ-

ten permission to the Head Counselor. Students are then required to

sign-out, indicating their destination and expected hour of return.

They must also sign-in upon return. This is to ensure the safety of

our students.

CURFEW is assigned by age, not by room assignment, and is applied to

all students ages 17 and younger and to all dancers.

Curfew Hours:

11 p.m. (Sunday – Friday) any student under the age of 18

(specific programs/teachers reserve the right to modify these times

depending on program needs or requirements)

**These curfews are enforced for the safety of all students

staying in Chautauqua’s Residence Halls.

Part of the Institution’s responsibility for

the supervision of residence halls is a

responsibility for student health and

safety as well as protection of property.

To this end, periodic inspections of public

and private areas of residence halls are

conducted. Whenever possible, inspec-

tion of a student’s room is done with a

student present and involves sighting

the interior of the room. This allows the

resident to become aware of safety issues

within his/her room.
