Returning Senior
We're delighted at the prospect of having you back as residents for the upcoming semester. Your prior residency has undoubtedly enriched our House and we value the vibrancy you bring with your new experiences since.
Returning Seniors are residents who have stayed in LightHouse in the previous semesters and have not secured residency at LightHouse for AY26/27 Semester 1. (e.g., Currently on exchange, Unsuccessful Senior Retention Results, Leave of Absence)
