Magellan House


WMU has a lot to offer from a wide array of majors to organizations to join. Magellan House is ideal for students who want to try it all. Whether you already know your major or are searching for one, the community will also help you learn what career opportunities there are for you. Located in Garneau Hall, the community has a strong partnership between University Curriculum, the Alpha program, Academic Skills Center and the Office of Residence Life.

How do I sign up for the community?

During the online sign-up process you will be asked to select a special interest housing option. Simply select Magellan House as your preference and indicate Garneau Hall as your first choice. Space is limited after May 1, so list an additional three residence hall preferences. If you have a roommate preference, both you and your roommate must request each other in order to be matched in the community. If your requested roommate is not in the Magellan House, we may not be able to place you together in the House if interest in the house is high.

   

Current WMU students interested in living in the Magellan House should come to the Office of Residence Life to sign up.
