One of the ways to enhance your on-campus living experience is by joining a Residential Learning Program. Student Housing Services is partnering with academic departments and/or campus resource offices to establish Residential Learning Programs that foster a greater connection between the in-class learning experience and the out of class experience. Research has shown that residential learning experiences provide positive impacts on student satisfaction, connection to the university and academic performance. Ultimately, we believe these communities can help you develop long lasting connections while also focusing on your academic aspirations.

Students with similar majors or interests will live together on selected residential floors. Residents will be able to study together, work together and learn from each other. Hall staff will focus programming elements to connect classroom learning with your out of class experience.

Who can be a part of the Residential Learning Programs?
A student can be a part of any program that is housed within a facility in which they are qualified to reside, unless otherwise indicated above.

How to apply for Residential Learning Programs
Applying to be part of a Residential Learning Program is easy! For every program except the Honors RLP, simply select the program on your housing application.
