Four Week School for Young Dancers
Four Week School students will live in the air-conditioned dormitory. Experienced counselors will live in the dormitory with the students. A curfew and lights-out policy will be enforced.

Meal Plan
The ADF Meal Plan is offered by Duke University Dining Services for the benefit of ADF participants.
Duke University Dining Services in the East Union’s Marketplace will provide this on-campus food service.

Six Week School
Participants desiring on-campus meals (especially those living in Duke University dorms) are encouraged to purchase the ADF Six Week School Meal Plan, which consists of the equivalent of five breakfasts, five lunches and five dinners per week (33 total of each) and costs $813 (a 24% discount over separate meal purchases). Students will be committed to the plan once they have signed up. There are no refunds for unused meals. This does not cover all the meals during the festival.

Four Week School for Young Dancers
All Four Week School participants living on campus are on the money-saving ADF Meal Plan. The cost is included in the Four Week School room/board options. There are no refunds for unused meals.

Flex Account Card
Participants in all programs are also encouraged to open a Flex account, either in addition to the ADF Meal Plan or alone. This is a declining balance account to which money can be added at any time. The Flex card can be used in the East Campus Union’s Marketplace and Cafe, East/Central Campus stores, vending machines and laundry facilities — greatly reducing the need to carry cash. Flex accounts can be purchased in $25 increments, with a $100 minimum. For convenience, it is suggested that participants purchasing the ADF Meal Plan put $100 into a Flex account for meals and other campus purchases not covered in the Meal Plan. The unused balance of the Flex account will be refunded in December 2008.

Health Insurance
Participants in all programs must provide the ADF with proof of adequate health insurance coverage. This must be provided before arrival. For participants without health insurance, the ADF has made arrangements with a local insurance agency to provide reasonably priced insurance for the duration of the program. Please contact the ADF School Office if you are interested.

Duke University Health Services
For health needs that can be taken care of in a clinic and that often are not readily covered by insurance, Duke University allows ADF students to take advantage of the outpatient services on campus, provided by the Duke Family Medicine Center, by paying the Student Health Service Fee. Examples of services provided include medical care for illnesses and minor injuries, medication dispensed by the Center’s pharmacy for short-term treatment of acute problems, and laboratory services when ordered by a healthcare provider at the Center.

Parking on Campus
For those students wishing to bring a car to campus, a $42 parking fee will be charged on check-in day.

Part Time Students
Part-time students are those taking one or two classes for the six weeks. Part-time students will be given registration numbers along with full-time students and will register for classes afer all the other students. Part-time students are not eligible for ADF financial aid or complimentary tickets to ADF performances.
