Student Clubs: Approximately 20 organizations on campus give students the opportunity to network and develop leadership skills. Ranging in purpose from academic to service and social organizations, club memberships are open to all students.

Intramural sports at OSUIT promote friendly, competitive activities and serve as a rally point for socialization, exercise and competition. We serve all students and provide activities in team sports, individual sports, recreation and fitness challenges.

Covelle Hall is the campus wellness center and includes the amenities of a full-service health facility without having to leave campus. Amenities include an indoor basketball court, two racquetball courts, free weight and machine weight workout rooms. It offers wellness testing, customized workout routines and intramural sports.

OSUIT also has nearly 2 miles of campus trails. Our trails feature a series of HealthLine workout stations and a 9 hole Disc Golf course open to all users. Stop by the Covelle Hall front desk to check out a set of discs to play our campus course.

Housing and Residential Life

On and Off Campus options for all.

They are exciting, active campus communities that promote a student’s personal and academic well being.

Explore the Library

More than the stacks of books
The OSUIT Library offers an online catalog so users can easily browse the collection or search for specific items such as books, journals, research materials and digital media. You’ll also appreciate the convenience of our computer lab with a variety of PCs, Macs and laptops.
