Participation in GPALC


When you participate in the GPALC you acknowledge and accept the following conditions:

  1. I will be an active participant in the Global and Public Affairs Living Learning Community (GPALC). This includes enrolling in all required fall and spring GPALC courses listed at https://coss.fsu.edu/palc/about/, earning satisfactory/passing grades in those courses, and respecting my peers in the program both inside and outside the classroom.
  2. I understand that if I am reassigned from the residence hall, whether in response to behavioral issues or at my own request, I will be removed from the GPALC and my GPALC courses.
  3. I understand that change of major, course conflict, or the number of college credits I have earned do not release me from the obligations of the GPALC while I am assigned to a room in the GPALC.
  4. I understand that, if I decide to leave GPALC before the end of the academic year, I will be reassigned to a room outside of GPALC which is not guaranteed to be in the same residence hall.
  5. If I have a mutually requested roommate, I understand that my requested roommate and I will only be assigned together in GPALC if each of us meets all criteria and deadlines for (a) applying to GPALC; (b) requesting each other as roommates; and (c) being selected for and accepting an invitation to the same LLC.
