If I could go back, I would choose ORU over and over again. After my first visit, I can't really explain what I felt, but it was different. I knew I could see myself living here.

You are only allowed to go through the room selection process and confirm a room one
time. Rooms not confirmed within the 5-minute lock window are released back to the
available room pool. Once the process is complete, the room is locked. After the drop/add
period has ended, students who wish to change rooms may go through the open room change
process. For further information, please contact the Concierge Residential Services
Office directly at 918-495-7711.
Only residence halls and rooms that are available to you will appear in the rooms
list and on the floor maps. The seventh floor of Claudius and EMR have a limited number
of suites. NOTE: On a first-come-first-served basis and subject to space availability,
private rooms can be chosen during the Room Change period after drop/add.
If you are 23 years old or older, a graduate student, or a part-time student, you
may request an exception to live on campus. However, prior to participating in the
online room selection process, you must submit a Petition for Policy Exception and

on one of the designated wings for non-traditional students. Please note that space
for non-traditional students is limited and not guaranteed. For assistance, please
email the Concierge office at concierge@oru.edu.
You must first agree to the Terms and Conditions of the Housing Agreement before you can proceed to the room selection step. Once
you agree, there might be a brief delay while the system processes your record and
updates your application status. If you have questions about any of the items included
in the Terms and Conditions, please contact the Concierge Residential Services Office
at (918) 495-7711.
