2017-2018 Break Housing

Intersession Housing

Click here for information specific to Intersession Housing.

Overview

There are a number of breaks within the Fall & Spring semesters when the residence halls close and students are expected to vacate them:

  • Fall (closes Saturday, October 7th by Noon & opens Tuesday, October 10th at Noon)
  • Thanksgiving (closes Wednesday, November 22rd by Noon & opens Sunday, November 26th at Noon)
  • Spring (closes Friday, March 9th by 8PM & opens Sunday, March 18th at Noon)
  • Easter (closes Holy Thursday, March 29th at Noon & opens Easter Monday, April 2nd)

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.

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

Individual students in need of break housing can find the application on their housing portal (instructions below).
