Many,
although not all, learning community
programs enjoy a strong partnership with
the Office of Housing and Residence
Life. Below are some of the most
frequently asked questions (FAQs) we
receive regarding housing in
relationship to learning community
participation.
How do I know if my
learning community is residential (has
an on-campus living component)?
Students can determine their living
options for each learning community in a
variety of locations. On the
List of Learning
Communities at UNC Charlotte, each
program’s living requirement status is
indicated. Also, the LC
application itself will only provide
choices for living options relevant to
the selected programs.
How do I apply to be in
a residential learning community?
Students must complete a learning
community application in addition to a
Housing application, which requires a
$200 deposit. Students under 18 must
have their parent(s)/guardian(s)
complete an under-18 form in order to
complete their housing application.
Students will not be assigned to a
residential LC without a completed
Housing application.
Students are not able to
select C.F. Lynch or Hawthorn on the
application, as these buildings are only
assignable once a student has been
accepted into a learning community.
Students should complete the application
as if they were not going to participate
in a LC.
What building will I be
assigned to?
Students participating in the
Engineering LC will be assigned to
Hawthorn Hall. Students
participating in other residential LCs
will be assigned to
C.F. Lynch Hall.
What rooms are
available?
Hawthorn Hall has only four person
suites with double-occupancy bedrooms.
C.F. Lynch Hall has four person suites,
many with single-occupancy bedrooms, but
some with double-occupancy bedrooms.
What are the chances of
getting a single-occupancy bedroom?
Engineering LC participants do not have
a single-occupancy bedroom option.
In C.F. Lynch, each LC is given a
limited number of single and double
occupancy bedrooms. Space requests are
filled based on when the LC coordinator
submits your name as an accepted program
participant. Once your name has been
submitted, preference is then given
according to the date of completion of
the Housing application ($200 deposit
has been paid). Other factors impacting
our ability to fulfill room-type
preference include roommate(s) requested
and the number of single rooms allocated
to a particular program. Housing cannot
guarantee
If a student has a
medical need for a single room, this
should be documented and handled through
Disability Services to ensure the
accommodation is made.
What is the cost of a
room?
Housing rates can be found posted on
the
Housing website. Be certain that the
room rates posted are for the year for
which the student is applying.
Is smoking allowed in
the residence hall?
All residence halls are smoke-free
environments.
Can I room with someone
from a different LC?
Most coordinators do not allow this,
but those decisions are made jointly by
the program coordinators of the
respective LCs.
Are there any apartments
in C.F. Lynch or Hawthorn?
No.
When are building tours
offered?
Tours are available during Explore
weekends. Unfortunately, tours at any
other time cannot be accommodated.
During SOAR, students are housed in C.F.
Lynch Hall, although no tour of Hawthorn
is available.
When will I receive my
assignment?
Assignments are made on a rolling
basis throughout the summer, starting in
May. Students are assigned based on date
of completed Housing application.
Students applying for LCs may receive a
non-LC building assignment prior to
being accepted into the LC. Once a
program coordinator communicates a
student’s acceptance into their LC, the
student’s assignment will be changed as
soon as possible (usually 1-2 weeks).
How do I receive/check
my assignment / roommates?
Students should log into
Nyumba to check their assignment
status. All information regarding
roommates and building assignment is
available online.
