LEARNING COMMUNITY PROGRAM TRACKING
Leadership for Social Change
To apply for an LC course exemption students must complete the exemption
application found on the LC website: http://www.slu.edu/housing/living/learn/ or
request that their academic advisor complete the google document LC Associated
Course changes application on their behalf. Students who drop required LC courses
without the approval of the LC program, will forfeit their opportunity to obtain the
Medallion award. Failure to be enrolled in at least one LC course during the Fall and
one LC course in the Spring, without the approval of the LC Program is grounds for
being required to leave the LC program, including housing re-assignment onto a
non-LC floor or a different residence hall.

Leadership for Social Change(LSOC)
This learning community (LC) is recommended for aspiring student leaders of all
majors and specifically geared toward English, philosophy, theology, theatre, music,
art history, studio art, foreign language, education, psychology, sociology,
anthropology, and other arts and sciences majors. At the culmination of the
residential experience, students will be holistically formed, critically reflective, and
socially and personally responsible.
Curricular Experience
Course participation is a mandatory component of the LC experience. As part of the
curricular and co-curricular living-learning requirement of the community, ALL
LSOC students will be pre-registered by the LC Academic Coordinator into UNIV
1010, PSY 1010, and either FPA 1100 or SOC 1500 during the fall semester as well
as THEO 1000 and ASTD 2700 or PSY 3930 during the spring semester. All
courses offered to LSOC students have been identified by the Learning Community
Development Team in collaboration with faculty to meet University requirements
and requirements of the Arts and Sciences curriculum.
Requesting an Exemption
There are four general reasons that an LC student may be excused from one or more
of their Learning Community courses: 1.) The student has prior credit; Advanced
Placement/Dual Enrollment/Transfer credit. 2.) The student has not met a
pre-requisite for the LC course. 3.) The LC course conflicts with a requirement for
their major; including a course sequence issue (please note: all other LC course
options and scheduling options must be exhausted before an exemption is given to
the student). 4. The student has a status conflict such as Pres-Scholar or
Med-Scholar; student-athlete; participant in the Billiken Success Program or in the
INTO program and has a programming conflict.
