For first-year students moving to in Fall 2022: The new student housing application opens February 10, 2022, at 2 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.
Once you have been admitted (including students enrolled in the Degree Partnership Program and Educational Opportunities Program) you’ll receive an OSU Network ID (ONID) account. Your ONID serves as your Oregon State e-mail address and as a log-in credential for university services.
Go to the ONID website to activate your account; select “Sign Up for ONID” on the left hand side. Once you've activated it, remember ti check your Oregon State ONID email throughout the year, as that's where we will send housing-related information and updates.
