For students living within driving distance of SIG Residential Program campuses, SIG offers a lower cost commuter option. Students can take advantage of the academic and social advantages of a SIG program while living at home.

The following SIG campuses will accept a limited number of commuter students in 2011:

• Amherst College
• Bryn Mawr College
• Dartmouth College
• Emory University
• UCLA
• UC Berkeley
• University of Texas at Austin
• Vassar College
• Yale University

Commuter Student Schedule

• Commuter students must be dropped off at 8:30 a.m. and picked up at 6:00 p.m. Exceptions to this schedule are not possible as safety procedures are compromised when staff must modify their supervision responsibilities to accommodate exceptions. Additionally, commuter students are not covered by SIG’s insurance policy beyond the noted times.
• Commuter students will participate in the full academic day, lunch period, and recreation period. They will not participate in any activities occuring after the recreation period.
• Commuter students may participate in the final performance (if their classes are involved), and in the closing ceremony. In both cases students must be accompanied by their parent/guardian.

Commuter students must meet SIG eligibility criteria. View the SIG Eligibility Requirements.
