On-campus housing is required for first- and second-year students. Availability for transfer students will be contingent upon space availability. Student Life Housing Services will email students each week, based on the date they have paid their acceptance fee to the university with details on how to apply for campus housing.
Move-in will be staggered beginning August 16. Students will be sent confirmation of their housing placement in mid-July. Students living in university housing will be expected to participate in the COVID-19 testing protocols as determined by the university. Testing and quarantine expectations will be shared closer to the beginning of autumn semester.
We strongly encourage students who qualify and want on-campus housing to apply as early as possible and complete a housing contract. The availability of spaces is limited, so early application is encouraged. Be aware that most rooms for new students may house more than two people. The cost of housing varies by the type of room and the meal plan chosen.
Before you sign a contract to live on campus, be sure that you read the contract thoroughly and that you want on-campus housing. If you break your contract, you will be assigned a contract violator fee for each semester that is remaining on your contract. If you are unable to come to Columbus and will be taking your classes virtually, you should request cancellation of your contract by August 1.
University Housing can be contacted at their email address, housing@osu.edu and by phone at 614-292-8266.
EARLY ARRIVAL/TEMPORARY HOUSING
On-campus early arrival/temporary housing will be available starting August 6. Students will be able to schedule an early arrival date and time beginning in early August.
You may also be able to find temporary housing at a local hotel or motel, or through some of the Ohio State's international student organizations. Please refer to Temporary Housing for more information.
