On-Campus Accommodations
Please note: On-Campus Accommodations for Commencement are now fully booked and registration is closed. Please see the list of alternative accommodations below for nearby hotels.
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 on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning Friday, February 15 at 10:00 a.m. for families of students from Columbia College and the School of Engineering. Parents who do not have internet access may have their graduating seniors apply for them online or in person at 125 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 19-22, 2008, with a 3-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 graduating senior. Families attending the Law School commencement may stay until Friday morning with the additional cost of one night.
If rooms are still available by mid-March, these accommodations will be open to families and guests of Columbia graduation candidates from all schools. In addition, reservation-holders may book an additional suite at this time.
