Chapter 24 - On-Campus Housing Accommodations

On-campus housing accommodations for students are provided through University Housing and Dining Services (UHDS) on the Corvallis campus, University Housing (UH) on the Cascades campus, and at the Hatfield Marine Science Center Housing (HMSC), in collaboration with Disability Access Services (DAS). Non-OSU students requesting an accommodation in the housing environment at Hatfield Marine Science Center should contact the Equal Opportunity and Access office as soon as possible.

All students must follow the deadlines established by UHDS/UH/HMSC for requesting on-campus housing.  

Determinations for housing accommodations requests typically take 2-4 weeks once all steps have been completed. Housing requests for terms other than Fall term may take longer.

Incoming Students (First-year, Transfer, Graduate, Non-Degree Seeking, etc.)

  • Priority Deadline – For students starting Fall term, the DAS process needs to be completed by May 31.
  • If students apply for disability-related housing accommodations after May 31, accommodation implementation will be on an “as available” basis.

Returning Students

  • Priority Deadline – For returning students, the DAS process needs to be completed by May 15.
  • If students apply for disability-related housing accommodations after May 15, accommodation implementation will be on an “as available” basis.

Summer Term Students ONLY

  • If a student is living on campus for only summer term, housing accommodations will be reviewed and determined separately.

Additional Information: 

Applications for housing accommodations for the next academic year will be reviewed beginning in March. Housing accommodations are typically granted by DAS for an academic year (Fall term through Summer term).

All housing accommodations are provided based on available inventory and prioritized based upon the date the student fully completes the steps for requesting a housing accommodation identified below.

If the granted housing accommodation affects costs (single room, private bathroom, etc.), the student will be granted the room accommodation for the academic year at a reduced rate (typically, the cost of double room occupancy). DAS does not determine roommates or location of room assignments. DAS will work with students who require a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) to determine access needs.

Following the completion of the steps identified below for requesting housing related accommodations, DAS will e-mail the student and the appropriate housing team, regarding the determination of the request.
