What's open this summer: A guide to Duke's campus services
As many students prepare to live on campus over the summer, The Chronicle compiled a list of seasonal updates to Duke’s campus services.
Students living on campus who have paid their student health fee continue to have access to regular student health services, including primary care, the allergy clinic, STI testing and nutrition services.
Summer operating hours for the Student Health Center are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, except Thursdays when it opens at 9 a.m. The center is closed from noon to 12:30 p.m.
Students can schedule appointments by calling 919-681-9355.
Hours and descriptions of other health services can be found on the Duke Student Health website.
Food points, credit and debit cards, and Flex points, are accepted at Duke Dining locations during the summer.
Marketplace, Gothic Grill, It’s Thyme and Pitchforks will be closed throughout the summer. Other locations have variable hours and dates of operation, which can be found online. Notably, most dining locations in the Brodhead Center close at 7 p.m. while Cafe and Saladelia Cafe at Perkins close at 3 p.m. and 2 p.m., respectively.
Students planning to bring a car to campus are required to have a valid parking permit from the Duke Parking and Transportation Services Office.
Those with an annual permit can continue to use their passes during the summer sessions, as permits expire in August.
All buses, including the C1, operate daily from 7:15 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. The updated bus schedule and real-time bus locations can be tracked with TransLoc.
Duke Vans are also available daily from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. covering areas and times not served by campus buses.
Until Aug. 24, recreational facilities are operating on adjusted summer schedules, but will remain open for students, faculty, alumni and staff.
Students living off-campus still have access to recreational facilities.
Wilson Recreation Center and the West Campus courts are open from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. The indoor climbing wall will only be available Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wilson will also be closed from Aug. 11 to Aug. 17.
