Berklee is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for your student to achieve his/her personal, academic, and artistic goals. Therefore, as a community member, you are responsible for reviewing, understanding, and abiding by the policies and regulations outlined in the Valencia Student Agreement, as well as all other Berklee policies and applicable laws, including the understanding that Berklee follows internal procedures, including policies and procedures for on-call staff, which allow professional staff tasked with this responsibility to know who to communicate with around incidents that may occur. Please note that Berklee reserves the right to amend and revise these policies at any time. Specific to the supervision of your student for the duration of the program, it is important that as the parent/legal guardian you understand and abide by the following policies:

The Berklee Valencia Summer Performance Program is an academic program conducted strictly on campus. It is not a residential program, and participants are required to arrange their own accommodations off-campus in non-Berklee-sponsored housing. 

Parents/legal guardians shall ensure proper supervision and accompaniment of minors (participants under 18 years of age, in any case, or still a minor, according to their National Law) outside of the official program hours (9:00h to 18:30h), as well as during travel to and from Valencia.

Berklee does not provide supervision outside of program hours and is not responsible for participants beyond the designated official program hours. In addition, no participant shall leave the campus during official program hours without the supervision and approval of a Berklee Valencia staff member.

Participants are responsible for their own lunch each day. Additional food may be provided by Berklee for special events. Participants with food allergies must register with the Accessibility Resources for Students office in Boston so these can be taken into consideration by the team in Valencia before the start of the program. This information will be handled confidentially and used solely for necessary health and safety measures.

Complete the Summer Performance Student Information form. Berklee needs the following information for administration purposes during the program such as passport number and emergency contact information. Please note that minors under 18 must also provide the passport number for one of their parents/guardians.

Soon after completing the form above, you will receive a DocuSign email from Student Affairs giving you access to a personal Student Agreement, which you will need to complete and digitally sign. The Student Agreement includes Image Rights and Minor Consent in addition to other acknowledgements and authorizations. Note that for students who are minors, the parents/legal guardians will first receive the DocuSign email containing the Student Agreement; therefore, it is imperative that students provide a valid email address for their parent/legal guardian within the Emergency Contact Information form.
