Hours of Operation During the Holiday Season

Now is the time of year when most students give serious thought to their specific plans for upcoming study abroad programs. The team at Arcadia Abroad looks forward to continuing to work closely with you in that planning process. Our normal business hours are Monday – Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET. Below is information about our holiday schedule so that you can plan to be in touch with us as necessary in the coming weeks.

Arcadia Abroad will be closed for the holidays during the following periods:

  • Thanksgiving Break: Closed from Wednesday, November 26, and will reopen on Monday, December 1.
  • Winter Holidays: Closed from Monday, December 22, and will reopen on Monday, January 5, 2026.

Special arrangements are being made to work with students whose programs start during or soon after the holiday break. If you are departing for a spring 2026 program and have specific questions for your Program Advisor or for the Billing Office, we urge you to contact us before Tuesday, December 16, 2025.

For students participating in Spring 2026 programs, we will be monitoring a mobile phone from Friday, December 26 through Wednesday, December 31, as well as during all scheduled departure dates. If you're a student whose departure is scheduled for the first two weeks of January and have an urgent question about your program while our offices are closed, you can reach us at 1-267-351-6764. Please note, during the break, this line is reserved for urgent, time-sensitive issues for students with imminent departures in early January.

All other students are welcome to send an email to educationabroad@arcadia.edu and we will respond when we return from the holiday break.

The global health and safety team can be reached 24/7 at 215-572-2123 for true emergencies involving students on our programs.

We will resume regular business hours and operations on Monday, January 5, 2026. We extend our best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season and look forward to you studying abroad with us next year.

Sincerely,

The Team at Arcadia Abroad
