The St. Lawrence University London Programme observes only English holidays and vacation periods. It is expected that the family and friends of the students will observe this calendar and limit their visits to London to the indicated vacation periods. Visits while class is in session, during exam periods or during scheduled field trips disrupt the student's routine and the normal flow of program activities.
