Step 1: View Your Room Assignment in the Housing Portal
The Columbia Housing Portal is your one-stop location for important information as a residential Columbia student. Throughout your time living on campus, you will visit the Housing Portal to submit applications, complete requirements, and more.
-
Log in to the Housing Portal using your UNI or, if your UNI is not yet active, your Columbia ID number.
-
Click on the “Move-In Information” tab in the menu to view your arrival date, room assignment, and roommate information.
Step 2: Select a Check-In Time and Complete Other To-Dos
Step 3: Start Thinking About What You’ll Bring to Campus
Watch our video for recommendations on what you should and should not bring to campus. Remember, your room is furnished and space is limited.
The Columbia Student Mail Center will begin accepting packages on August 1. Items received before August 1 will be returned to sender.
Step 4: Review the Check-In Process and More Resources
In early August, we’ll send arrival instructions and tips for how to have a smooth Check-In experience.
