Housing at OU

Students with a housing scholarship who are interested in studying abroad must visit the financial aid office to go over financial aid requirements (scholarships, grants, loans, etc.), and how they may be affected by financial aid during and after study abroad. As scholarships have different requirements, it is important to be informed. Contact financial aid at finservices@oakland.edu or (248) 370-2550.

Students living in University housing before studying abroad must contact the OU Housing Office to cancel the housing lease/contract Housing Contract, before their departure date. Housing lease cancellation is due November 30. Move out and key return to the Housing Office is due by the last day of finals. The Housing Office is located in Hamlin Hall, Room 448, housing@oakland.edu, (248) 370-3570.
