18.1 How can I apply for membership?
Please look at the Laurel
House Fact Sheet for details about the application process. Note
that if you live in Austin you are required to come by and apply in
person. Please contact the membership
coordinator for meeting dates and times..
18.2 How long does it usually take for an
application to be reviewed?
Once an application is received, it is usually reviewed with two
weeks. Due to the large number of applications, individual response cannot
be sent out about the results of each application. Applicants who are accepted
and offered contracts will be contacted by email, phone, and/or U.S. mail.
If you have questions about the status of your application, please feel
free to contact the membership coordinator.
18.3 Do you really read the applications?
Are they really important?
Yes, the applications are very important. Every single application
is read aloud at a membership meeting and members discuss on each
one individually. Answers to the essay questions are especially important
since they provide the most insight into your reasons for wanting to live
at a co-op, your ability to get along with the other members of the co-op,
and your personality and interests. Answers should not be long-winded,
however, due to the large number of applications reviewed; concise and
precise responses are much preferred.
