Learning Community Housing Guide

If you are a returning student who is a member of learning community or interested in joining a learning community (LC) next year and you would like to live in a room designated to your learning community you will need to follow the returning student timeline below.  

Returning students with a housing status of "not guranteed", even if you are enrolled and plan to live in a learning community, are still required to fill out the Request To Live On Campus Form.

Sept. 30-Nov. 13 | Request To Live On-Campus

We find most students want to live off campus after they meet their Residency Requirement, but there are a handful who like to live on-campus for more than two years. If you would like to live on campus again next year, you must submit a request to have your status changed from not guaranteed to guaranteed. You will not be able to select on-campus housing if you do not fill the request form out.

Submit your request to live on campus

Deadline to complete your Request to Live On-Campus is Friday, Nov. 14.

Dec. 1-Feb. 12 | Renew Your Membership & Complete Your Application

If you are unsure if your community of choice allows returning members, you can contact the learning community's Director before applying.
