LLC FAQ
A Living-Learning Community (LLC) is led by Resident Education & Development in partnership with Student Affairs, Campus Services, and an academic unit and/or sponsoring department. A LLC is a residential community of students who have shared academic interests and are provided opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom.
A Learning Community (LC) through Learning Commons is a non-residential community of students who have shared academic interests and interact in two or more university courses. These communities are led by specific university colleges and are linked by an LC meeting time that is facilitated by a Peer Leader. Learn more about Learning Communities on the Learning Commons website.
