Some students are expected to remain on campus for University commitments, others live too far away to leave for shorter breaks, and unforeseen circumstances can arise. These Individual students in need of break housing can find the application on their housing portal (instructions below).

Break applications appear on the housing portal approximately 3 weeks before the break begins.  Residents will only be granted permission to stay on campus with legitimate reasons (distance, campus employment, etc.).  Reasons will require verification. This form can be accessed through my.scranton.edu:

  • Self Service
  • Student Tab
  • Student Services/Financial Aid
  • Residence Life
  • Housing Portal

Groups in need of break housing should have their advisor or professor send the list to res-life@scranton.edu.
