Living Learning Communities (LLC) and Theme Houses
The process for choosing a room in a living learning community or theme community in Al-Monty, Barto, Beck, Kamola, Kennedy, Meisner, Sparks, Sue Lombard, or Wendell Hill Hall, is slightly different than for the other residence halls. If you would like to be involved in the following Living Learning Communities: Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA), Aviation, Casa Latina, Douglas Honors College, Education, Leadership, Music, Science Talent Expansion Program (STEP), or Students for the Dream; or the following Theme Communities: International House, Recreation and Sustainability, or Women's Experience next year you are required to:
- Complete the LLC/Theme questionnaire
- Acquire a faculty/staff signature from the applicable academic areas
- Submit them to University Housing in Button hall by noon on February 8, 2013.
If you choose not to reside in the designated LLC area, you can apply for an open space during same hall/different room signup on Thursday, February 14 or during the different hall on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, February 20-22, in order of lottery number. Remember, you must have a cumulative 3.0 GPA to live in Kamola Hall if you do NOT participate in an LLC.
