Summer Session 1 2008 (05/26/2008 - 07/03/2008) - Click here to apply for Summer Session 1 only.

Registration Information: The Summer Housing Registration process will be similar to the General Selection process during the academic year. Students will be able to form groups with 5 other students, for a total of 6 people altogether, if they want to pick at the same appointment time. Students may want to form groups in order to live in a double together or to live in singles or doubles near each other, if this housing is available. Internal, randomly-assigned lottery numbers will be assigned to each individual or group, and applicants will be placed into rooms by the Housing Assignments Office. Residents will be notified of their Summer Housing assignment via email in May.

Please note that you CANNOT change the group size (once confirmed by the Group Leader or group members), Category Declaration, or make any changes to add, reform, or combine groups once you have started these sections of the application. No exceptions will be made. Please consider all of your options carefully before completing your registration by April 18.

IMPORTANT! If you are registering as a group, you must elect a group leader who will register your group. The group leader will create a group name and password and will pull you into the group. Prior to being added to the group, all group members must login to begin the Registration process, select the "Group - Summer Housing" Category Declaration, and give the group leader their UNIs and Screen Names, which are created during Registration.

Please note: Groups cannot be formed with members of different Housing periods.  Thus, Summer Session 1 applicants can only form groups with other Summer Session 1 applicants, and Graduating Seniors can only form groups with other Graduating Seniors.

In order to be pulled into a group by a group leader, the group member must:

• Have already created an Application.
• Selected "Group - Summer Housing" in the Category Declaration step.
• Not have created a Group or belong to another Group.  
• Have applied to the same Application/Stay Duration: Summer Session 2008, Summer Session 1 2008.

After the group is created, a 12-hour wait period will commence during which any group member may pull out. Once the wait period has ended, the Group Leader must login to verify the group. Then, all group members must log back into the application and complete the remaining steps through the ‘Registration Summary’ page. After all group members have confirmed through this page, the group’s registration is complete.

Please note: Registration status on the Application will read "Not Complete" until the student is assigned a room and has signed the Occupancy Agreement online. This process will take place after a room has been selected.

If all rooms are assigned during selection or an application is submitted after midnight on April 18, students may be admitted onto a waitlist and will be assigned as space becomes available. A late application fee of $50 will be applied to process all submissions after the required deadline. 

If you require accommodations due to a disability, please note your need on your application. In addition, must fill out the Disability Housing Accommodations Request Form and submit supporting documentation. We will make every effort to meet your needs, but please note that this is only a request and not guaranteed. Columbia students should also note that accommodations made during the summer does not guarantee similar placement in the fall. You must follow the Disability Housing Accommodation procedure when choosing your fall/spring assignment during Room Selection.
