Housing | On-Campus Housing Options at Hocking College

Housing

As one of the only two-year colleges in Ohio to offer college-owned residence halls, Hocking College is excited to provide you with a unique experience. Although living on campus is not required, many students take advantage of this fun and educational opportunity.

By becoming part of our living-learning communities, your academic experience will be enhanced by the support services available and the convenience of being on campus to take advantage of the multitude of resources available.

Students will not be permitted to move into the residence halls until payment is secured for their assignment.

Payment in full or enrollment in a payment plan must be in place prior to the payment deadline. Applicants submitting an application past the payment deadline must have payment in place or be enrolled in the payment plan at the time of application.

Payments or payment plan enrollment can be made through the Cashier's Office: 740-753-7029.

Payment deadlines for the 2021-22 academic year are as follows:

Autumn Semester - Aug. 1, 2021
Spring Semester - Jan. 1, 2022

*New Student Move-in day: Wednesday, August 10th, 2021
*Returning Student Move-in Day: Thursday, August 11th, 2021

Before departure, all residential students must check out with a Residence Life staff member.

Residents are not required to move out of their assigned rooms for the break period and will be assigned to the same room for the following Spring semester if they are registered as a full-time student for the Spring 2022 semester by Monday, Nov. 15, 2021. However, a Residence Life staff member must inspect the student's room to ensure no hazards are left in the room over the break period.

Failure to check out with a staff member may result in an improper check-out fee.

The application process includes a roommate matching questionnaire. It is very important that the student complete the questionnaire and not the parent.

Students who've already provided us with their preferred roommate information still need to submit this questionnaire in the event that their preferred match does not attend.

*Please note that you are not able to request suitemates, only roommates.
