What is the swab summer 2022 schedule
So Amazon packages are allowed? I was under the impression that the package they could receive couldn't be larger than AxBxC? Or that rule is only for swab summer? Thank you!Two answers: Amazon is great for this sort of thing. Your newly minted adult can choose what they want and have it in their hot little hands in a matter of days. Otherwise, yes you can visit campus: they can get some time off at Labor Day and Parent's Weekend is in early October this year. But if they Uber or know folks with a car they can frequently get off campus long enough to hit Target or Best Buy on weekends.
That is only for swab summer. After that, they can receive packages without restrictions in size or number. The mailroom can still get backed up though and still has limited hours.So Amazon packages are allowed? I was under the impression that the package they could receive couldn't be larger than AxBxC?

The mailroom staff is small and they get really backed up at times, especially right at the start of the school year and in January when they go back after winter break, so I learned not to send food or anything urgently needed at that time. All packages go through the mailroom, even UPS or Fedex. If you are close to campus, your cadet will be able to tell you when they will have time to accept dropped off items. For a special food treat we have sent to parents of a local friend of my cadet, and they were happy to deliver.That is only for swab summer.

No, they don't get any leave during this time period.I think my question could belong in this thread. Do the Swabs get a 4-5 day leave between Swab summer and the start of school?
It's gonna be Labor Day weekend and Parents' weekend before Thanksgiving.Got it! For some reason we were thinking he was was able to come home for a few days between Swab Summer and school start. So their first leave is Thanksgiving or Christmas?
That week before the semester starts is called CAP week (Cadet Academic Processing). The cadets meet with advisors, get their schedules for classes, and have other processing and training/information sessions during that week.Got it!

No email. Snail mail only.Do Swabs get access to email during swab summer, or is their only outside communication written letters?
