On-Campus Housing
Columbia College and Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science students who are living in residence halls during the spring semester may apply for summer housing. Priority will be given to students registered for summer classes, then students working on campus and finally to students working off campus. Students may also apply for interim housing to span the time between the end of the spring semester and the beginning of the Summer Term.
On-campus Interim Housing Application Deadline: To be announced
Applications are available online at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/housing/docs/forms-apps/index.html. Summer and interim housing charges for current Columbia students will be billed automatically to a student's account.
Summer housing is assigned in two six-week blocks: May 23 –July 2 and July 5 –August 13, 2010. For dates and times to check into and out of housing, see www.columbia.edu/cu/housing.
