Out of House Membership

Updated 2/20/23

Students who are interested in a Living Learning Community that they do not reside in may sign up for an Out of House (OOH) Membership.

Out of House Memberships provide students with an opportunity to scope out different LLCs they are considering living in. Students can be active members of the communities that they want to be a part of, even if they do not live there. There is no limit to how many Out of House Memberships students can have.

With an Out of House Membership, students may:

Gain access to an LLC’s programming and social events
Promotional emails about LLC-related events from student leaders
Priority assignment into midyear vacancies in an LLC
Increased chances of placement in an LLC for the next academic year based on participation
Swipe access into an LLC’s specific building (excluding the Apartments)
