When do I find out if I am in the learning community? If you apply by the priority deadline of February 1, you will be notified of your admittance or placement status by February 7, 2025.
Should I use My College Roomie (MCR) to match up with a roommate? You can use My College Roomie to meet new friends and connect with others who are eligible for your learning community. If you wish to room with someone specific who has also been accepted into your learning community, email Madison.Moen.1@ndsu.edu to formally match as roommates.
What do I do if my roommate is not eligible to live in my learning community? You must choose one of two options:
Remain matched with your current roommate, but withdraw your application from the learning community. The two of you will participate in room selection in March.
Drop your current roommate and remain in your learning community. You will be notified via email of your housing assignment. Roommate contact information will be listed on your housing portal so you can connect!
If my roommate is eligible for the learning community, but doesn’t want to apply, can they still be my roommate? No. You will have to choose one of the two options listed above.
Do I still need to go through room self-selection? No. Learning community housing assignments are made prior to the room selection processes. You will not need to participate in self-selection because you will already have a housing assignment.
What if I'm no longer interested in the learning community? If you have applied, email Madison.Moen.1@ndsu.edu and let her know.

What courses are required for the learning communities?
Engineering Leadership Learning Community
Fall semester ENGR 191 (seminar course, 1 credit) - expectation of all learning community students to participate.
Engineering courses during the first year prioritize math. Students are expected to take a math course equivalent to their program needs and math placement test achievements.
Global Learning Community
The Global Living Learning Community will also work in conjunction with the Global to Personal Wellbeing course. This course focuses on developing personal wellbeing through the study of global wellbeing practices. This course will include a study abroad trip to Finland for two weeks in August 2025.
Students are not required to participate in the Global to Personal Wellbeing course to be eligible for this community; however, in the case of interest that exceeds the available housing, students who participate in this program will be given preference to join the Global Living Learning Community.
