HERE TO SUPPORT THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY

At Columbia Housing we're responsible for maintaining the physical integrity, cleanliness and operations of Columbia's 30+ undergraduate residence halls. While we manage a lot of moving parts to keep our buildings in top shape, our number one priority is our student residents.

We're dedicated to providing you with safe and comfortable accommodations and a friendly face whenever you have questions or concerns.

Visit Housing Portal

The Housing Portal is the main student system connecting Housing with our residents. This is where students sign their Occupancy Agreement, register for Room Selection, etc.

Info on Sophomore Waitlist

Each year, those students who are unable to select during Room Selection are added to the sophomore waitlist. For sophomores, particularly those who draw higher lottery numbers, this process requires additional time managing inventory and finalizing assignments. All guaranteed students will receive an assignment, in some cases it requires additional time or a 'waitlist.'
