Policy Regarding Utilities
Please note that If you are renting one of our community member properties, you will need to pay for all utilities (electricity, gas/heat, water and trash removal) in addition to your rent. For your convenience, you may opt to pay for utilities through Ashland University. However, if you prefer, you can open accounts in your own name with each utility provider.
Off-Campus Graduate Student Housing
Some students are eligible for exclusive properties through Ashland University Auxiliary Services. To help our AU graduate students find affordable housing close to campus, we offer a variety of rental housing options:
- Single rooms (you have your own room but share a bathroom and common areas)
- Double rooms (you share a bedroom with a person of the same gender and also share a bathroom and common areas)
- Studio apartments (premium housing*)
Also, for graduate student housing only, the rental price includes electricity, heat, Wi-Fi/Internet and water utilities.
* Premium housing is defined as any single bedroom apartment with a private bath, kitchen and common space for the exclusive use of the single tenant. A full listing of the apartments subject to premium apartment housing rates will be available soon.
