There are times throughout the year that may require a student to relocate to another dorm. We do our best to try to limit these moves to one or two per academic year; however, as these circumstances arise we work with the students to ensure they select the environment they would like to live in after their initial allotment.
Occupancy: If a dorm falls to or below 50% occupancy, students will be relocated to another dorm.
Relocation: A student can be asked to relocate as a part of the housing disciplinary process.
Renovation: Because the university operates year round, the Maintenance and Housing Departments decide annually what areas need to be vacated for remodeling and updating. Students who are living in those facilities will be required to move to a different dorm.
In any of these circumstances, space will be made available on campus for these students. At no point, other than judicially, will a student be required to move off campus (please see disciplinary actions).
Over the course of the academic year, there are several breaks and holidays that give the students some time to relax and get ready for new areas of study. In terms of University Housing, as long as students are scheduled for the next session or quarter, they are able to leave their personal items in their dorm and even stay in the dorm should they so choose over the break/holiday.
If at any time students decide to leave the University for one or more sessions or quarters, the University cannot guarantee space in on-campus housing upon returning. If students want to return to school and live in the dorms, they must contact Housing at (419) 998-3170 or email housing@unoh.edu two weeks prior to returning to request a dorm and check availability. Students must have pre-approval from the Housing Director prior to returning to the dormitories.
The University of Northwestern Ohio strives to maintain a safe and inclusive community where individuals are respected and differences are celebrated.
Students who identify as transgender are asked to discuss their housing options, room assignments and/or their living environment at UNOH with the Director of Housing or Student Success Office. UNOH offers apartment style housing with 2-4 bedrooms each at double occupancy typically assigned by same sex units. We will assist transgender students with their residential placements on a case by case basis, including access to housing consistent with their gender identity. We encourage students to discuss housing options as soon as possible while the widest range of options are available.
