Welcome to Learning Communities at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
As a part of Learning Communities at UNL, you will
LIVE with and alongside other students who share your academic,
career, and/or life interests or identities,
creating a tight-knit community within your residence hall on campus.
You will LEARN alongside your fellow LC peers through shared courses
ranging from general education to major or career specific seminars.
And, finally, you will CONNECT with students of similar interests,
your Peer Mentor,
and university faculty and staff who have
an expertise or shared interest in your area
who will work alongside you to create worthwhile experiences
and offer support throughout the year.
By joining a Learning Community, you will build relationships with peers
in your residence hall and major,
achieve academic success through a variety of support systems and
shared courses with your Learning Community,
and explore career paths by participating in a variety of programs put on
by your Peer Mentor and Sponsor.
The Learning Communities at UNL have been able to provide many different programs
throughout the year to engage our students and provide the best experience
possible. From social programs like our Welcome Event and Trivia Night where you
and your friends can compete for amazing prizes to Peer Mentor-led floor study
hours allowing you dedicated time to focus on your academics and get peer help
when needed. And, finally, different Learning Community trips to businesses
and workplaces in the area to talk with industry professionals and tour
the facilities!
To apply to a University of Nebraska Lincoln Learning Community, you will need
to have access to the Housing Contract. Once the Housing Contract opens, you will
then be able to "opt-in" to a Learning Community by selecting "Yes."
After you select "Yes," all of the options for the Learning Communities being offered
for that school year will be presented to you. You may then choose up to two
preferences for Learning Communities to apply to. If you are going through the
application in the Housing Contract and have any questions, please feel free to
email the Learning Communities office at learningcommunities@unl.edu.
