2002-2003 - The University of Scranton

The residential program allows students to experience many aspects of college life as
they attend daily classes, live in dorms, eat in campus dining halls, and participate in nightly
academic, social, and recreational activities. Residential students arrive each week on
Sunday at 6:00 p.m. and depart each Friday at 5:00 p.m. A commuter option allows students
to participate in the 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. daily schedule. Limited scholarships are available.
Students with a B or better grade-point average are eligible for the program. Students
with grade-point averages below a B may be admitted if they obtain a letter of recommendation
from a school official. All students must include a current grade report with the program
application. Participation is limited and students are selected on a first come, first
served basis. For more information, contact The Dexter Hanley College, at (570) 941-7580.
