Admission - updated 7.7.08

Qualifications:

Students in all majors are encouraged to apply to EcoHouse. Ideally, summer-time applicants will be entering their second year and be resident students. However, qualified entering freshmen may be considered on a limited, space-available basis.

  • Students enrolled in 2-year Living-Learning Programs like CIVICUS or College Park Scholars become eligible to apply to EcoHouse during the second year of their program, to enter EcoHouse in the third year.

Students may apply as an individual or as one of a group of students who wish to live together. Students in the group must complete separate applications to be considered for EcoHouse. Each application will be evaluated separately, as well as part of the group, so each group member is urged to be thorough and thoughtful in completing the application. If you wish your application to be considered as part of a group of students, please submit your applications together in one package.

Application Process:

A completed application package will include copies of the following:
  • Personal information sheet & Application essay -AVAILABLE HERE.
  • A one (1) page resume - resume resources available here.
  • Unofficial transcript - available on TESTUDO
  • If you are applying as part of a group, all students in the group must complete separate applications. Each application will be evaluated separately, as well as part of the group, so each group member is urged to be thorough and thoughtful. Please submit your applications together in one package.
  • Finally, please do not use staples; use paper-clips, instead. This will allow for easier handling by the admissions committe.
