Are you part of a pre-assigned population?
Students who are part of these groups must declare their housing intent through the Housing Portal between February 20 and 21.
However, as they are assigned to a room before online Room Selection begins, they will not participate in Room Selection.

Students whose disabilities substantially limit their ability to live in Columbia’s traditional housing arrangements can request an accommodation through the Disability Housing Accommodations Registration Form.
