Arrival and Departure
Arrival/Check-in Day: Thursday, June 13
Students check-in 10:00 AM–2:00 PM on Thursday, June 13. Students should plan to arrive to ADF to check-in at Gilbert-Addoms Residence Hall, located at 1368 Campus Dr., Durham, NC on Duke University’s East Campus, where the ADF summer administrative offices are located.
At check-in, students receive their check-in packet, finalized intensive schedules, ADF/Duke ID card, a prepaid ADF T-Shirt (paid by May 17), dorm housing information and key if living on-campus, parking pass, and will resolve any outstanding student form or billing matters.

Late Arrivals: ADF strongly encourages students to arrive during the designated check-in time, but understands that extenuating circumstances may arise. Students unable to arrive by 2:00 PM on June 13 must notify the ADF School as soon as possible so arrangements for their check-in can be made. Late arrivals will be permitted on a case-by-case basis. Fees will not be prorated for students who arrive late to the festival.
Departure: Sunday, July 14
All final intensive performances will occur on Saturday, July 13. All students should plan to depart the festival on Sunday, July 14 at the time that works best for them. Dorm residents must be checked out by 11:00 AM on Sunday, July 14. Check out procedures will be included in each dorm resident’s check-in packet. Select work-study students are expected to stay longer and have been provided their departure date individually.

Gender Neutral Bathrooms
All-Gender Bathrooms in ADF-Relevant Spaces
ADF believes in inclusion and fairness, which includes the right for each individual to access public facilities according to their gender as opposed to their biological sex. All-gender bathrooms exist in some, but not all classrooms and performance spaces. Wherever male/female facilities are the only options available, ADF honors the right for students, faculty, and staff to choose the facility that makes them most comfortable. We acknowledge that this is an imperfect situation and hope that the campuses that ADF occupies will prioritize updating their facilities to be fully inclusive.
