KBK Tenant Application

Student Organization Office and Locker Tenant Application

The Ohio Union and Student Activities Office strives to provide resources and space for student organizations to be successful. The Ohio Union offers dedicated office space and storage lockers in the Keith B. Key Center for Student Leadership and Service (KBK) for student organizations to conduct activities and store essential equipment. Organizations (including new ones) must complete registration by April 15 to be considered for a locker or office space. Organizations who registered in the fall semester and are already active must maintain their active status. 

The application for the 2025-2026 academic year has closed. Applicants will be notified of their tenant status by mid-April. Application information for the 2026-2027 year will be made available during the spring semester of 2026. 

The selection committee will evaluate applications based on the following criteria:

The Student Organization applicant...

  • Has a thriving and expanding membership.
  • Maintains a strong and active program schedule.
  • Showcases effective leadership and communication practices.
  • Demonstrates active membership engagement.
  • Has faced and overcome challenges.
  • Committed to building connections with the campus community.
  • Seeks additional growth opportunities.
  • Has a history of tenancy on campus.

 

Things to Know:

  • All student organizations (regardless of active, inactive, or pending status) are eligible to submit an application for an office/ locker.
  • Organizations that are selected for an office/ locker must be at an active status by April 1. Selected organizations that are not active by this date will forfeit their space.
  • All current office/ locker tenants must re-apply annually to maintain their current space, or request to switch to a different space (e.g. from locker to office).
  • An automatic confirmation email will be sent once your application is submitted. If you do not receive a confirmation email, we did not receive your application.
  • Late applications will not be accepted.
  • All applicants will be notified of their tenant status by mid-April.
