Residents are represented by the Residents' Association of the University of Ottawa (RAUO). With a mandate to help improve the quality of life in residences, each building elects a representative to the association. The RAUO also provides a political representation on the behalf of the residents. Buildings may collect a small fee, known as the floor fund to pay for the group.<ref name=rauo>{{cite web|url=http://www.residence.uottawa.ca/en/rez-life/rez-guide/rauo.html|title=RAUO - Residents' Association of the University of Ottawa|publisher=University of Ottawa|access-date=7 June 2012|archive-date=June 26, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120626115957/http://www.residence.uottawa.ca/en/rez-life/rez-guide/rauo.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Jock Turcot University Centre (UCU) is the centre of student life and programming. Located between Montpetit Hall and Morisett Library, the centre was completed in 1973 at a cost of over {{CAD|6&nbsp;million}}. In spring of 2017, an expanded rooftop patio was added to the university's 'UCU', allowing students to have a more open campus in a downtown setting.<ref name=JTUC>{{cite web|url=https://www.uottawa.ca/maps/building/uni-center.html|title=University Centre|publisher=University of Ottawa|access-date=7 June 2012|archive-date=November 13, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161113020615/http://www.uottawa.ca/maps/building/uni-center.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Funding for the centre was partially offset by the Jock Turcot University Fund, which was set up by the student body. The centre was named after former student federation president Jock Turcot, who was killed in a traffic collision in 1965.<ref name=JTUC /> The university has over thirty-five dining outlets. This includes several major [[chain store|restaurant chains]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.foodservices.uottawa.ca/food/foodoptions.php|title=Food Options On Campus|publisher=University of Ottawa|access-date=7 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120108171018/http://www.foodservices.uottawa.ca/food/foodoptions.php|archive-date=8 January 2012|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
