Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Learning Community Application open the same day as the rest of the housing applications?
Yes! Each year in January both applications open up for students.
I was accepted into the college, now if I want to live in the Academic Village do I apply for both general housing and the ERLC?
Yes, that’s exactly what you’ll do. Submit the general housing application and then fill out the application through the Learning Communities Portal in Step 2 above.
How long does the application process take?
We don’t have an exact timeline because we accept and evaluate applications on a rolling basis. It depends on the amount of applications that we receive at the time.
How will I find out if I am accepted into the ERLC?
We will be sending responses out to your CSU email, so be on the lookout there!
