Learning Communities

Each community has a set of residence hall rooms specifically designated for them. To sign up for one of these rooms, you must apply, and be accepted into the community, prior to April 25, 2018. To ensure your chance to live in the community, please complete the following steps:

After you have submitted your request to join a community, you will receive an email from the community director approving your request. When it’s time for you to select your room in the next phase, you will be able to view and select rooms within the designated community space in the community’s residence hall. For example, if you choose to join the Chapman Learning Community, you will select a room in Kohl Hall.

This is referred to as a pull-in, some communities allow pull-ins, meaning you can choose to live with someone from the community or choose a roommate outside of the community. If the community doesn't, you must select a roommate who is a member of the community. Check the page associated with each learning community you are interested in.

How to set-up a roomate pull-in

If your community allows roommate pull-ins and you want to live with someone who is not a member of the community, you are  eligible to live with your roommate in your designated community room; however, you will not be able to assign your roommate through this room selection process. Here are the steps to get your roommate assigned with you:

1. Log in to the housing system during your assigned room selection time and select an open room (a room that shows 2/2)
2. Call the Office of Residence Life at 419-372-2011 and provide your name and your roommate’s name. The Office of Residence Life will assign your confirmed roommate to that room (as long as space is available in your room) 
3. Your roommate's room assignment will be in your room, but they will need to log in during their selection time in May to confirm their assignment and select a meal plan

If you have questions, please contact the Office of Residence Life.
