Columbia University Housing

Eligibility

Since some of our graduating students plan to stay in New York City, we offer a limited number of rooms to extend your housing until July 2 to help ease the transition while you job or apartment hunt. Applicants must be graduating from Columbia College or SEAS on May 20, 2009. If you are not applying for graduating senior housing, your Check-Out date is May 21, 2009.

Periods and Rates

Period	Dates	Single Rate	Double Rate
Senior Housing	May 21 – July 2	$1,855	N/A
Senior Housing*	July 2 - August 15	$1,350	N/A

*Graduating Seniors will be able to request an extension in mid June to stay through August 15, pending space availability.

Buildings Available

Possible locations for Corridor-Style buildings include Broadway and Schapiro. The final decisions for the locations that will be used for Summer Housing will be determined in April.

Application Information

Summer Housing Registration begins February 2. Graduating seniors may only sign up for Summer Session I. To apply for Summer Housing, please fill out a Summer Housing Application. Residents will be individually assigned into rooms by Housing Services. In addition, a $50 non-refundable application processing fee will be billed to your Student Account after your application has been submitted.

If an application is submitted after April 3, students may be admitted onto a waitlist and will be assigned as space becomes available. An additional application processing late fee of $50 will be applied to process all submissions after the required deadline.

If you wish to request accommodations on the basis of a disability, you must complete the Disability Housing Accommodations process in addition to completing the Summer Housing Application. More information about this process, including the required forms and guidelines for disability documentation are available on the Health Services website. For further information, please contact the Office of Disability Services at 212.854.2388 or by email at disability@columbia.edu.

Columbia students should also note that an accommodation made during the Summer does not guarantee the same housing assignment/placement in the Fall. For more information on this process, please consult Disability Housing Accommodation Procedures and Guidelines to be considered for accommodations during the academic year.

Please note that you will be billed from the first day of your session until you cancel and Check-Out, regardless of your actual housing period. Before you leave, fill out a Cancellation Form. Additional fees will apply if you do not comply with set housing period move-in and move-out dates.
