Leaning into Copeland Hall’s modular design Campus Living is creating a path for students who have a group between 11-16 residents in size to have their own piece of Copeland that has a mix of singles, doubles, and quads.
Priority will be given to applications that show a group’s alignment with one or more of our Campus Living foundations. For application information, please email living@lclark.edu.
Copeland Suites FAQ
It depends! We will work with approved groups to identify a floor in Copeland that meets the groups’ size.
After approval, groups will connect with the Copeland Area Director to decide who in their group is living in each room in the Copeland Suite hall. Our operations manager will hand-assign students into these Copeland Suite spaces. Copeland Suite students will not need to participate in room selection.
Suite Style Doubles/Triples
A suite style double or suite style triple is a designed quad room with only two or three residents sharing a private bedroom and a separate study/living room. Suite style rooms are offered in Copeland and Forest Halls.
We were able to offer suite style doubles for 2024-25 and anticipate being able to offer them for 2025-26. The number of suite style doubles/triples we are able to offer is dependent on the amount of continuing student housing demand and incoming class size.
We will open a suite style interest form after room selection. Roommate groups who are interested in a suite style double/triple should all fill out our suite style interest form.
We expect to be able to start offering Suite Style rooms in late May/early June.
Suite Style FAQs
The cost of a suite style double is an additional $450 per semester per resident (2 students in a quad). The cost of a suite style triple is $300 per semester per resident (3 students in a quad).
Additional beds and chairs will be removed. Moveable desks and armoires will also be removed. Built-in desks and armoires can not be removed. You will be allowed to use all remaining furniture in the room spaces.
Only all year residents are eligible for suite style rooms.
Double-Single Buyouts
A double-single buyout allows residents to pay the difference between a double room and a single room to remain as the only occupant of a double room space. For 2025-26, we will host a double-single buyout waitlist for anyone interested in “buying out” the open bed in their double or to be shifted into a double room as a single occupant.
For 2025-26, a double-single buyout is $650 per semester. Once you are confirmed for a double-single buyout, this charge will be placed on your student account.
Please note that confirmed double-single residents are responsible for any damages charges for the entire room space.
Any double style room on-campus. This includes Hartzfeld suites, Holmes suites, and all double rooms. Singles, triples, and quads are not eligible.
Fast Pass for Quads and Triples
Do you want to secure a triple or quad booking in Copeland or Forest for 2025-26 with your friends ahead of room selection?The FastPass process supports returning residents who want to secure a triple or quad with their roommate group. This opt-in process will allow your roommate group to let our office know about your desire to live in a triple/quad before room selection and secure a triple/quad booking without the need to participate in room selection.
To move forward with a FastPass for 2025-26, please complete the following steps between March 1st and March 23rd:
Include all members of your desired roommate group on the email
In the email, please include:
All roommate names
The room type (triple or quad) you are interested in
A list of at least 3 preferences for placement. If you would like to be re-booked into your current quad/triple, please include this information in the email.
After March 23rd, we will move forward with booking roommate groups into triples and quads. We will place residents into triples and quads in the following order:
Roommate groups who want to be rebooked into the same triple/quad room they are residing in for 2024-25
We will assign in chronological order the FastPass request received between March 1st and March 23rd. We will prioritize returning residents who want to live in an LLC.
We will continue to accept FastPass requests after March 23rd, but your placement will happen after all other FastPass requests have been booked.
FastPass FAQ
In previous years, we have set aside more quads and triples for incoming students than returning students based on the belief that returning residents want to live in doubles or singles. After feedback from residents and RAs, we learned that more returning students than we anticipated may want to live in triples/quads with their friends, but don’t see as many triples or quads during room selection. We hope this process will support our returning residents into their desired housing while reducing stress during room selection and creating better housing experiences for all residents, new and returning.
Triples and quads in Copeland and quads in Forest are eligible for FastPass.
Living Learning Community spaces that residents aren’t apart of, Platt Quads, Holmes suites, and Hartzfeld suites are not eligible for FastPass.
The choice is up to you! As this is our first time piloting this process, we aren’t sure what demand will be like. We hope to still offer some quad/triple beds on the housing portal during room selection. Returning residents in a roommate group of four will be able to book into available quads or doubles that remain available during their room selection timeslot. However, a quad isn’t guaranteed to be available during room selection.
Unfortunately, FastPass is only available for Forest and Copeland triples and quads. Single semester residents will reside in Stewart-Odell. We do have one designed triple in Stewart that we are able to offer all year residents.
Sorry, FastPass is only available to complete roommate groups or 3 or 4 residents looking to fill an entire triple or a quad space.
No, anyone who is booked into a room via FastPass will not be eligible to view rooms during room selection. However, you will still be asked to login to the portal after room selection to confirm your meal plan.
Campus Living is located in Odell Annex on the Undergraduate Campus. MSC: 132
