Summer Seminars housing

On-campus participants

SCAD Summer Seminars staff are committed to giving each participant an in-depth look at the authentic university lifestyle.

Housing
While attending the program, participants may choose to become residents of a SCAD residence hall. SCAD makes all assignments based on a participant's gender identity and the living preferences listed on their housing questionnaire.
