Columbia University Housing

To be eligible for residence and to continue in residence in the Housing Services' residence halls and Brownstones during the academic year, a person must be registered as a full-time degree candidate at Columbia College or the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences for an approved program of academic work as determined by the school in which the student is enrolled. Because of a shortage of student housing, Housing Services may, at its discretion, require those students who cease to be enrolled full time to vacate their residence halls space immediately. For purposes of determining years of residence, a partial year is considered a full year. Please note that we do not house graduate students.
