The University of Michigan and Bowling Green State University are sponsoring an international clearinghouse devoted to collection and dissemination of information about residential learning communities. Definition For the purposes of this project, we define residential learning community as a residential education unit in a college or university that is organized on the basis of an academic theme or approach and is intended to integrate academic learning and community living. The unit may or may not be degree granting and may involve collaboration with formal academic departments outside the unit. Residential freshman year experience programs are included in this definition.
Participation is usually voluntary.
If you are the director of such a residential learning community and would like your community listed in the printed and online web directories, please complete the online form . We plan to distribute the printed directory next spring at the National Residential Learning Communities Meeting. More than 100 residential learning communities have already submitted this information to The Residential Learning Community International Registry .
