- Housing Contract, and

Wellness Community Application and Contract
Students interested in participating in the Honors or Cardoner Fellows LLCs cannot apply through Residential Life. They must contact the program organizers to do so.
The general Housing Contract may be downloaded above, and is the first step in every student’s application process for on-campus housing. All of the above Supplemental LLC & Theme Housing Contracts and Applications are also available in the LLC Housing Packet, and are required only of students who wish to be a part of one of our exciting new Living Learning Communities or Theme Housing Communities.
Living Learning Communities
A Living Learning Community (LLC) is a housing community that seeks to engage residents more actively in the academic and social fabric of Loyola’s campus. LLC’s encourage academic and personal growth through intentional programming and collaboration with academic departments, administrative units, faculty, and professional staff members at Loyola.
Often, LLC’s are tied to a for-credit class. Students living in such a community are required to participate in a related course, bringing together the residential, academic, and social aspects of the students’ college experience.
Cardoner Fellows LLC
These scholar-students attend class together, live together, plan and attend programs in the residence halls that support their academic pursuits, and support each other through their first year of college. Cardoner Fellows are selected through a competitive application process that is managed by the Cardoner Fellows Program Coordinator. Residential Life cannot process applications for this community. If you would like to learn more about the Cardoner Fellows program, please contact:

While the Cardoner Fellows LLC does offer a for-credit class, many LLC’s (including those listed below) do not, but still provide a highly unique opportunity for students to live in an academic community where they will work closely with both student staff and professional staff to pursue a range of outside-the-classroom studies.
International Floor
The Global Village Community brings together students from all over the world in a community designed to facilitate intercultural understanding and communication. International students and U.S. students explore different cultures and gain cross-cultural communication skills through a variety of academic, cultural and social programs. If you are interested in applying to live in the Global Village community, please complete the Global Village Supplemental Application. If you would like to learn more about the Global Village community, please visit the Global Village website or contact:

Honors students have the privilege of living in a community where they are surrounded by their peers from the Honors program. Students work closely with Honors faculty to design programs and social interactions that support and expand on their work in their Honors courses. Honors students are selected through their application to the Honors Program. Therefore, non-Honors students are not eligible to live on the Honors Floor. Further information about the Honors Program can be found at The Loyola Honors Webpage. If you would like to learn more about the Honors Community, please contact:

Theme Housing
Theme Housing Communities are designed to bring together students with a common interest. Theme Communities may be centered on virtually any topic, or theme, and are driven by the interests and participation of the students who choose to live in these communities. Theme Housing Communities often are not tied to an administrative or academic department. Rather, the students themselves choose to live in the community simply because they enjoy being around other students with similar interests.
Wellness
The Wellness Community attracts students who choose to live lifestyles free of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. These students enjoy seeking balance between school, family, work, and social life, and are committed to living well. Students in this community will sign the Wellness Community Contract to commit to keeping their community free of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs, and will learn the skills needed to hold themselves and each other accountable to that commitment. Students who choose to live on this floor should sign and submit a Wellness Community Contract (part of the Wellness Supplemental Application) along with their LLC Contract and Housing Contract. Further information about the Wellness Program can be found on the Residential Life Wellness Webpage. If you would like to learn more about the Wellness Community, please contact:
