The Honors LLC is full for 2023-24 and is therefore not accepting any more new students!

Honors students have the option of Honors housing. Honors students have a dedicated Living/Learning Community (LLC) in Govs Terrace South and they have the option to apply for housing in Harvill Hall. The LLC provides Honors and PELP students the opportunity to room with students who are like-minded. This arrangement helps with study habits and therefore can increase success rates across all classes. The LLC has a meeting room and a kitchen area for students to use.

Harvill Hall is not exclusively for students in the Honors Program but is open to all high-achieving students. Located in the center of campus, Harvill is a smaller dorm that only holds about 70 students total.

Incoming freshmen move in to their dorms one day before regular move-in so that they can attend Honors Orientation. For 2023 early move-in will happen on the 22nd of August. Please check the box above if you will be living on campus and if you would like to be in the LLC. Space is limited, so the LLC rooms are filled on a first come, first served basis.
