Student Success at Purdue

Thank you for your interest in Purdue University's Learning Communities.

Placement in a Learning Community (LC) is determined by a competitive process based on a comprehensive review of your application. The LC placement criteria include elements such as prior academic achievement, the Purdue College, School, major and/or program to which you are admitted, and space availability. You are encouraged to apply for Learning Communities as soon as you receive your admission confirmation, as spaces are limited. While you can list multiple options on your Learning Communities application to increase your likelihood of ultimately being enrolled in a Learning Community, you should only list options for which you have serious interest. If you are interested in only one community, list that community only. Space is limited. Submitting an application does not guarantee placement in a Learning Community.  The application deadline for priority placement is May 5th, 2012. Offerings are subject to change.

IMPORTANT! This application DOES NOT REPLACE completing a housing contract with University Residences. If you want to live in a University residence hall, you must complete a housing contract by May 5, 2012, regardless of whether or not you are applying for a Learning Community and marking interest in living with the Learning Community. You cannot be selected for and placed in a Learning Community with required residence in a residence hall (nor can you be selected for and placed in the residential portion of a Learning Community with a residence option) if you have not completed a housing contract.  Applying for a Learning Community and completing a housing contract are TWO SEPARATE PROCESSES. You can access the online housing contract here.
