Starting fall of 2012, University Housing & Dining Services will be changing the programmatic locations and offerings for a few of the residence halls.

Finley Hall to house upper classmen and conference guests

Finley Hall will change from a sole purpose residence hall for OSU students to become a multipurpose facility for a few new and current growing programs.

The seventh floor was designated as an upper class and transfer student floor this yea (2011-12). Finley will continue to provide space for upper class and transfer students for 2012-13.

In addition, two floors will be filled with OSU scholars/interns and INTO-OSU monthly arrivals that take place after hours.

The remaining floors will be used for conference housing similar to what many institutions throughout the region provide.

Honors College finds new home in West Hall

The University Honors College (UHC) Program will move from McNary Hall where it has been located for years to West Hall starting in the Fall of 2012. The hall will continue to be open to all residents, although UHC students will be given priority in the room assignment process.

Sackett Hall to house ROTC students

With the programmatic change in Finley, the areas designated for those who participate in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Program will transition to Sackett Hall in Fall 2012.  Students who would like to live with other ROTC students and/or who keep the same strenuous ROTC schedule are welcome to live in a designated wing of Sackett.
