How to Apply-Campus Change Students
1. Read the Terms and Conditions and Undergraduate Addendum
Read and understand the Terms and Conditions and the Undergraduate Addendum of the contract you are about to acknowledge online. The contract is a legally binding document that remains in effect for the entire academic year. If you have questions, call us at (614) 292-8266 before accessing the online housing contract.
2. Consider Second-Year Transformational Experience Program (STEP)
Students who graduated from high school in 2023 are eligible to participate in the Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP). STEP is designed to focus on student success and development and will allow students the opportunity to engage in activities that cater to their individual interests and needs. Through interaction with faculty, students will be able to develop tools for life and build essential network connections. By fulfilling the program requirements, students will be eligible to receive a fellowship of up to $2,000 to use towards an experience they might otherwise not be able to do.
3. Fully complete the Contract
Before you access and complete all the steps, read this website carefully and understand the contract obligations as well as the fees and due dates.
Single rooms require a separate application, available in the online contract process.
If you need assistance with logging into the reselection portal please email us at housing@osu.edu.
4. Space Reservation Fee
A $300 contract space reservation fee will be billed to your student account when you submit your housing contract and will be held pending on-campus residence during Spring Semester, 2025. If you currently live in University Housing, your current space reservation fee will be used to pay this fee. If you currently live off-campus, you should plan to pay this fee as well as the $50 filing fee (charged when a student completes their first on campus housing contract) via your University account no later than March 15, 2024.
5. Deadline for Reservations/Cancellations
Due to space limitations, we cannot guarantee that late contracts will be accepted after the February 26, 2024 deadline. The deadline to notify the Housing and Residence Education staff of any changes to your housing plans and provide required exemption documentation is March 15, 2024; NO exceptions will be made.
Next Steps:
Roommate Groups: After spring break those who completed the housing renewal/reselection of their housing contract by the deadline will be emailed and have the opportunity to create and verify a roommate group. You also have the opportunity to search for roommates from other students who renewed/reselected their housing contract. Roommate group size limit is 4 people
Room Select: In early April students will be sent their random timeslot where based on when your timeslot opens you will be able to go out and select a room based on what is still available.
After Room Select Closes: When room select closes for everyone we will shortly after email preliminary housing assignments with roommate contact information. Also at that time the preliminary room change request will open if you wish to put in a change to your housing assignment.
