The Computers

Ohio University currently is transitioning away from providing desktop computers in the residence halls. Upperclass students living on campus who requested a computer on their housing contract have the option of a university-provided computer in their room for the 2007-2008 academic year, only.

To request the removal of the computer(s) in your room, login to our Work Request Site. Under the "Residence & Dining" Section, choose the appropriate link and supply the necesary information.

Processors are Pentium 4. All machines have at least 256 MB of RAM, a 20 GB or larger hard drive, CD-RW drive, a floppy drive, and a 15 inch or larger monitor.
