How to Apply

To apply for the Pre-Health Sciences LLC, please select this community on the online housing application. There is not a separate application to be a member of the Pre-Health Sciences LLC; however, students will be registered for the Chemistry 141 course and corresponding workshop sections before orientation in the summer. If a student is not registered for Chemistry 141, they may be removed from the community.

To Change Application Preferences:

Prior to April 1st, if a student has already applied to housing and is interested in this community, they can update their LLC preferences in their application in their myHousingPortal as long as it is before room assignments for the following fall have begun.

Room assignments for the following fall generally begin in April of the preceding spring. Once assignments begin, you are not able to update your application yourself. 

  • If you are assigned a room - changing your application preferences will not change your room assignment. If you are interested in moving into the LLC after you have already been assigned a room for the fall semester you will need to sign up on the summer waitlist which will be available in your myHousingPortal. The summer waitlist generally opens on May 1st.
  • If you have not been assigned - you may contact Housing to see if we can update your LLC preferences before you are assigned a room. Please note that once room assignments begin in April they are done on a continuous basis. If you are wanting to update your preferences and have not been assigned, contact our office right away so we can try to update your request before the next round of assignments are made.
