ON-CAMPUS ACCOMMODATIONS

Columbia Housing Services offers room packages in Carman Hall, a residence hall on the Morningside Campus, for guests during Commencement Week.

Commencement Housing applications will be accepted online or via telephone on a first-come, first-served basis. The reservations can be made online and applications will be accepted in early spring 2013. Parents who do not have internet access may have their graduating seniors apply for them in person at 114 Wallach Hall. Credit cards will be billed automatically upon application and confirmation. Requests will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis until all rooms are filled.

Rooms may be reserved from Monday to Thursday, May 20-23, 2013, with a three-night minimum stay. All rooms are doubles. Two rooms may be combined as a suite. A limit of two rooms (one suite) may be reserved per graduate. To view rates, application procedures and cancellation policies, please visit the Commencement Housing website. You may also access the reservation form here as well.

ALTERNATE ACCOMMODATIONS

In addition to on-campus accommodations, discounted rates may be available to Columbia University students and guests at some local hotels and hostels. We recommend that you make your reservations as soon as possible. Please note that if neighborhood hotels become booked, the city's many midtown hotels are only a short subway ride from the University. Please see below for a list of off-campus accommodations that offer special rates for Columbia-affiliated guests.
