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 you will still be 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.
If you are a Greek or Learning Community member, there are separate processes you need to follow. If you do not fall under these two categories, you will need to fill out the form below.
Deadline to complete your Request to Live On-Campus is Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Important | Request to Live On Campus approvals will be sent to students via email to their BGSU email acount, Nov. 14.
Filling out a Request to Live On Campus does not guarantee housing. Students who are Not Guaranteed housing should consider this their status until they receive official confirmation from the Office of Student Housing.
Dec. 2-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. You can find their contact information by going to bgsu.edu/communities and navigating to your community's website.
