Intersession housing for on-campus students check-in is on Sunday, Jan. 2, at noon. Only students registered for an intersession class or who have made requests earlier and been approved will be permitted to stay in the residence halls. Students registered for class are automatically assigned to intersession housing and must contact Residence Life if they would like to change their status to commuter, if their course is not taught at Scranton or they have dropped their class.

Although there is no charge for housing, all students living in freshmen or sophomore buildings are required to maintain a dining plan if they are residing on campus during intersession. All residents with a dining plan can make an online request through UIS to decrease their plan for intersession. Residents who live in the on-campus houses or apartments can request to remove their dining plan during intersession as they are not mandated to have one during the academic year.

If a faculty or staff member has a resident student working for them during intersession, the faculty or staff member must e-mail Residence Life to make a request for housing. The student's name, Royal ID and reason for housing need must be included. The student must contact Residence Life to submit an Intersession Housing Request form. This form can be e-mailed to the student directly.

Contact Residence Life at res-life@scranton.edu or 570-941-6226 with any questions.
