Apply for Short/Denney Residential College

We are now accepting applications for Fall 2009.

You can now Apply Online!

A Living/Learning Community like Short/Denney requires that students work with faculty and staff to integrate their academic experiences into their social and civic activities.  

To make all this magic happen, students must apply to two entities at UCA: Housing and Undergraduate Studies. 

You must complete the requirements for both before we can fully admit you.

  • Download and fill out this application form.      <Microsoft Word Format>     <rich text format>     <PDF> or APPLY ONLINE!
    [If you have trouble downloading the document, you can     contact the Residential College Recruitment Team at residentialcolleges@uca.edu or 501/450.5969.]

  • Yes, this application requires you to write a brief essay, but nothing this great comes without a little effort, right?  Essays should be around two pages typed. 

  • Send your completed application and essay to the Residential Colleges Staff at <residentialcolleges@uca.edu>

  • You may submit the application electronically, print and send it through the postal service, or fax it to us. (If you apply online it's all done in one step!)

  • If you have any questions about the Undergraduate Studies application requirements!

You must also apply for and be accepted to the Department of Housing and Residence life.  Specifically, you will need to:

  • Complete the application for UCA Housing and Residence Life.  This application is SEPARATE from the application you completed for Hughes Residential College.

  • Pay your $100 housing deposit, even if you have been awarded a scholarship. 

  • If you have any questions about the Housing application or deposit, please contact our cheerful staff at Housing and Residence Life.

Remember to send in your application early.  By the time you arrive for summer registration, you will have far fewer options regarding your choice of Learning Community and classes!

Opportunities available to Short/Denney students

  • Short/Denney students have collaborated with the Reynolds Performance Center for the last two years.  SDRC students serve as ushers for the public performances, and earn funding for resources for their program.  This is a great volunteer experience that many SDRC students have loved.

  • In the SDRC Art Appreciation class, students participate in an end-of-the-semester art exhibition.  The SDRC building becomes a gallery where student work is displayed, and prizes are awarded in several categories.

  • Residential College faculty and staff are available to provide assistance in initiating involvement with a number of philanthropic organizations.  Among them: Heifer Project International, National Endowment for the Arts, and the American Cancer Society.
