Dorm Residence Policy
All full time students attending the Scranton campus who do not commute daily from the home of their parent(s), legal guardian(s) or spouse must reside in campus housing when they are actively enrolled in college courses. Commuting distance is defined as 30 miles from campus or less. This policy applies to any time of enrollment, including summer sessions and intersession.
Exceptions to this policy can only be made by the Dean of Student Affairs, and only under extreme circumstances. The decision of the Dean is final.
To apply for an exception, the parent, legal guardian, or spouse needs to provide a notarized letter documenting that the student will in fact meet the criteria stated in the policy and lives within a reasonable commuting distance (defined as within 30 miles of the campus of attendance).
If the college is able to verify that a student is in fact violating the policy as stated or the conditions set forth in an approved exception, the student is subject to dismissal from the college and or full charge for residence hall costs.
