The Office of Student Life University Housing wants every student who chooses to live in the residence halls to feel safe and comfortable. The Ohio State University is committed to building and maintaining a diverse community to reflect human diversity and improve opportunities for all.

Staff will not ask for any more information than is required to meet the student’s housing needs, and all disclosed information will be kept strictly confidential. In meeting the needs of the incoming student, Student Life University Housing will recognize and respect the gender identity the student has established with Housing. New, first year incoming students are encouraged to contact the Housing and Residence Education office early in the housing request process to discuss housing options. Transgender students are valued members of the on-campus living community at Ohio State. In order to provide support for the needs of current and incoming LGBTQ students and others with specific needs, a gender-inclusive housing option is available. One of the ways we achieve this goal is by offering a wide range of on-campus housing options. Within our diverse community of residence halls, University Housing affirms that one's dignity and uniqueness should be recognized and respected regardless of distinctions in identity.

Student Life University Housing supports the academic and social success of all its residents. Students who need special assignment consideration and/or have a service animal or therapy animal are strongly encouraged to contact the Housing and Residence Education office to discuss housing options. Students can do this by emailing general questions about disability accommodations, contact Student Life Disability Services at (614) 292-3307. Student Life University Housing staff works to accommodate the needs of students.
