Apply for a Learning Community!
Thank you for your interest in Purdue University's Learning Communities!
Placement in a learning community (LC) is determined by a comprehensive review of all applications to create optimal learning environments for each LC. The LC placement criteria include elements such as the Purdue college, school, major and/or program to which you are admitted or enrolled, and space availability. You can express interest in multiple Learning Communities to increase your likelihood of ultimately being enrolled in a Learning Community, however 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.
- Purdue in Indianapolis students will also list their Learning Community preferences in their Purdue Housing Contract.
Offerings are subject to change.
IMPORTANT HOUSING INFORMATION!
During the housing application process you will be prompted to express your interest in learning communities. You cannot be placed in a Learning Community in a residence hall if you have not completed a housing contract.
Learning Community Courses
Most Learning Communities include a class component; to be eligible for a Learning Community, students must be eligible to take all the classes involved in a Learning Community. If placed in a Learning Community, students must take ALL of the associated classes; it is not possible to take only some of the courses in a Learning Community cluster. Thus, it is possible to be placed in a Learning Community and then earn AP credit for a course (Chemistry 11500 or English 10600 as examples). If students earn and accept such credit and the Learning Community in which they are placed requires the course for which they accepted credit, their situation will be reviewed at their request and they should discuss this with their advisor. This can impact housing placement with the Learning Community so be sure to review the online descriptions that include associated courses for each Learning Community and apply for appropriate Learning Communities based on your expectations regarding any AP tests you plan to take or any college credit you expect to be bringing with you to Purdue.

Incoming students to Purdue can apply from mid January until the date posted for the official Purdue housing deadline.
