Deadlines for Campus Housing

Housing applications are accepted on a rolling basis until all beds are filled. You will not be assigned a room until your acceptance by the Summer Term has been confirmed.

Visiting Students

Undergraduate and graduate visiting students who are registered for the Summer Term are welcome in University housing.

Current high school students are not eligible for University housing (this includes students who were accepted into the class of 2011) unless they are enrolled in Columbia 's Summer Program for High School Students.

Housing applications will be accepted until the housing application deadline (to be announced) or all spaces have been filled. Applications must be submitted online. Full payment must be made by credit card at the time of reservation.

Rooms will be assigned on a rolling basis until all available rooms are filled. Visiting students may apply for housing in advance of registration for summer courses but will not be permitted to retain the housing if 1) they do not register or 2) they withdraw from the University (i.e., drop all of their courses). If a housing reservation is canceled prior to the start of the summer term, the charges, except for a $100.00 early cancellation fee, will be refunded to the credit card. Students must notify housing if they decide to cancel a room reservation prior to Summer Term registration. For cancellation policy after Check-In date, see Columbia's housing Web site.

For Check-In and Check-Out dates and times of housing, see Columbia's housing Web site.
