Lodging at Emmaus

If you register with on-campus lodging, we will have a room ready on our dorm floors. Lodging will be provided for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights to those with on-campus registration. Check out Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. 

Dorm rooms are furnished with one or two single beds and a dresser. We provide the bed, linens, and meals. We do not provide towels, toiletries, or an alarm clock. Most dorms are not air conditioned. Single rooms have community washrooms; therefore, men and women will be on different floors. We do have a limited number of dorms that can accommodate married couples; children under 13 are not allowed to stay on-campus in dorms.

Some dorm floors are accessible by stairs only. If you have accessibility requests, please email isiregister@emmaus.edu
