Summer Resources and Support

The University of Scranton offers a multitude of opportunities in the summer for undergraduate, graduate and adult students. Here is a quick look at the resources and support available to our summer students.
  • Summer Housingplus or minus

    University apartments will be available for summer housing for students registered for undergraduate classes or students involved with other University functions. The apartments are a fully furnished, apartment style community with air conditioning. Students may check in to summer housing one day before classes begin and must move out by August 2 at noon. If students have a Fall 2024 housing assignment, Residence Life will work with them to move from summer to fall housing. Graduate students seeking summer housing should contact the Office of Residence Life using the information below.

    The first-floor food court in the DeNaples Center will be open Monday through Friday for breakfast and lunch. 

    Students may apply for summer housing via the Housing Portal after April 15, 2024. For additional information, contact the Office of Residence Life, 100 Condron Hall, at (570) 941-6226 or res-life@scranton.edu.
