Housing Application Instructions
If you haven’t already, please apply with Columbia’s Admissions Application, or the Common Application.
Go directly to the Housing Application.
Complete an Undergraduate Admissions Application
It is important for all students applying for on-campus housing to first apply for admission to the college. Students may submit both applications on the same day. However, students are not placed in on-campus housing until they have submitted a housing application AND are fully admitted to the college.
Complete the Housing Application
Students who have submitted an undergrad app—either Columbia’s Admissions Application or the Common Application—already have credentials to login into the online housing app.
Go directly to the Housing Application.
We send those credentials (username and password) to all applicants by email. However, if a student cannot find that email or has forgotten their login credentials, they can retrieve them from the homepage of the Columbia’s Admissions Application.
Click on Forgot your username or password? and then type in the email address you provided on the Columbia’s Admissions Application in the space provided and submit the form. An email will be sent immediately providing the student’s username and a link to use to reset their password.
