Room Information

Space configurations in some rooms require beds to be bunked, high lofted or junior lofted.

• All beds at Stratford Heights are fixed at the junior loft height due to suite configurations.
• All Daniels triple rooms are set up as two bunked beds and one junior loft. Siddall and Calhoun triple rooms are set up as three high lofts.
• Quad rooms in Dabney, Siddall, and Calhoun are set up as two sets of bunked beds.
• Siddall and Calhoun beds are unable to be set at standard height due to space.

Lofting and bunking is available in the following halls:

• Calhoun
• Dabney
• Daniels
• Morgens
• Schneider
• Siddall
• Turner

Lofting is available free of charge. No side rails are provided.

• Standard height (bottom of the frame is 12” from the floor)
• Junior loft height (bottom of the frame is 36” from the floor)
• High loft height (bottom of the frame is 64” from the floor)
• Bunked beds (two beds stacked)

See images below for bed options. Student model is 5' 7" tall

If you decide to have your beds bunked, both you and your roommate will need to return the form indicating that the beds are to be bunked. We are unable to bunk beds if only one roommate returns the form.

WARNING: Attempting to loft your bed without the proper equipment and parts may place you at risk of severe injury.

Standard schedule below. Please see 2020 cleaning information.
In halls with community bathrooms (Calhoun, Dabney, Daniels, and Siddall), the community bathrooms are cleaned by our custodial staff once per day on school days (usually in the overnight hours). On weekends and holidays, the restrooms are re-stocked with soap, paper towels and tissue, and any large messes are cleaned up. In halls where bathrooms are contained in suites (Campus Rec, Turner, and Schneider), the bathroom is cleaned and re-stocked with tissue weekly on a pre-determined day. Residents of the suites are responsible to remove all personal items from the bathroom in advance. Declining bathroom cleaning service is not an option.

Students are responsible for cleaning their own living/bedroom areas and in halls with bathrooms in the suites, providing their own soap and hand towels.

UC properties includes CRC, Dabney, Daniels, Morgens, Marian Spencer, Schneider, Scioto, Siddall, Stratford Heights, and Turner Halls.

Residents should report any routine or urgent maintenance concerns to the Resident Advisor (RA) or Desk Assistant (DA) for the community. The RA/DA will submit a request to our maintenance team for follow-up. It is important that you report all your maintenance needs to the hall staff so that we can track these requests and ensure they are resolved in a timely manner.

If a reported issue becomes emergent, or has exceeded 48 hours without a maintenance response, residents are encouraged to reach back out to their RA/DA, indicating they have already had a maintenance request submitted. Hall staff will elevate the request for a timeline update and respond to residents directly.

For after-hours maintenance emergencies, please contact RA on-call. On-call numbers are posted at Service Centers, on exterior doors, and throughout the hall.

Corry/Eden residents may submit maintenance request directly via the tenant portal.

Residents of The Deacon may submit maintenance request directly via the tenant portal.

UPA residents may submit maintenance request directly via the housing portal.

Work with your RA or visit the property service center desk for maintenance concerns.

Depending on the nature of your work order, response time may vary. Please allow between 2-7 business days for your order to be addressed. For example, requests for lock changes will receive the quickest response. If your request involves ordering materials, that may extend response time. 

If your request has not been addressed in the 2-7 business-day timeframe, please send an email to UHstudentcrew@uc.edu. In that email, please include the following information:

• Your work order request
• The date you made the initial request
• Who you made the initial request to (RA, front desk, or other)

 Five-minute loaner keys are available at the front desk of your hall if you become locked out of your room, and temporary keys or access cards are available from the front desk of your community for short-term use if you misplace your keys but expect to find them.

If your keys are lost or stolen, report to the front desk immediately and lock changes will be ordered. Refer to your Housing Agreement for replacement cost. Keep your keys and your UC ID securely with you at all times for your own convenience and for everyone’s safety. 

There are computer kiosks in the lobbies of Calhoun, Daniels, and Dabney for residents of those halls; residents have 24-hour access using their ID. Residents of any residence hall can use any of the computer labs available on campus. There are several 24-hour computer labs on campus. 

Residents are encouraged to personalize their space within limits. Good items to consider using for those “personal touches” include rugs, bedspreads, throw pillows, posters, photographs, desk lamps (non-halogen only) and small plants. Items can be affixed to walls only with “sticky-tac” where there is drywall (Turner and Schneider) or masking tape in rooms with painted cinderblock walls (other halls).

We ask that you refrain from using nails, tacks, pins, double-adhesive tape, double-stick stars, wallpaper, or anything else that breaks the surface of the walls or leave a residue on walls, floors, ceilings or furniture. You may bring free-standing items (e.g., shelves or stacked crates) but please do not affix anything to the walls using nails, bolts, screws, anchors or other semi-permanent or permanent devices. In order to ensure facilities that are in good condition for future residents, if any personal touches cause damage to university property, residents will be billed or have costs deducted from their deposit.

The safety and comfort of residents require the careful and balanced use of electrical appliances. The University of Cincinnati’s practice is to provide one combination microwave-refrigerator (“microfridge”) in every room or suite. The policy states:

Additional microwaves, refrigerators, or microfridges are prohibited in Calhoun, Dabney,  Daniels, and Siddall Halls due to the electrical capabilities of those residence halls. Residents who, for medical circumstances, need to request an exception to this policy should direct their request, in writing, to the residence coordinator (RC) of their residence hall. In the case of approved exceptions, no additional refrigerator may exceed 4.0 cubic feet, and no additional microwave may exceed 600 watts.

In Turner, Schneider, and Campus Recreation Center (CRC) Halls, one additional microwave per suite is permitted. The microwave may not exceed 600 watts. Within the suites of these halls, one small refrigerator per bedroom is permitted, regardless of how many residents are assigned to that bedroom. Any additional refrigerator may not exceed 4.0 cubic feet.

Please remember, residents are responsible for the cleaning of all microfridges, microwaves, and refrigerators in their rooms or suites throughout the term of their housing agreement.
