Useful information

Thank you for choosing the University of Ottawa residences. Here’s some information to ensure a smooth stay. When you stay in a student residence during the summer, you’re investing in the student experience all year.

Services

We can temporarily store your luggage in a safe space. Just go to the reception desk of your residence.

There are laundry rooms on the ground floors of the 90U, Stanton, and Henderson residences. To use the machines, you must purchase a Discover uOttawa card. For more information, contact the reception desk. Instructions on how to use the machines are in the laundry rooms.

Your kitchenette at 90U includes a dining table, refrigerator, microwave and sink.  Utensils and cutlery aren’t included.

Located in the heart of downtown Ottawa, University of Ottawa sports facilities are close to everything and have what you need for your active lifestyle. We offer two fitness centres for campus visitors, as well as access to an Olympic pool.

The Aquatic Centre in Montpetit Hall includes a 50 by 18 metre Olympic pool. The pool has a diving platform, as well as accessories such as kick boards, pull buoys, lifejackets and balls. The Aquatic Centre is currently under renovation.
 
You can purchase a one-day sports facility pass at the Montpetit Hall customer service desk (125 University in the basement) or at the Minto Sports Complex (801 King Edward on the ground floor). For more information, call us at 613-562-5948.

Deliveries for long-term residents: Consider providing your full name, mailing address and room number to those sending you mail during your stay, to ensure you receive your deliveries.

Your room comes with an air conditioning system . Please note that the switch between air conditioning and heating take place on specific dates based on changes in seasonal temperatures. You can change the temperature in your unit by setting the thermostat and turning the fan to “Auto.” 

If your room is too warm and the air conditioning hasn’t been turned on yet, open your window to let in some fresh air. If you turn the fan to “High,” it will circulate warm air in your room.
