Sponsored Housing

This form is for Columbia Faculty and Staff who are sponsoring students for Summer Housing. 

If you are a student looking to submit a Summer Housing Application, please go to the Housing Portal. 


If you or your department will be sponsoring students for housing during the spring interim, summer sessions, fall interim, or for early arrival, please review the information below and complete the Sponsorship form to provide your chart string and roster of students. If you are sponsoring students living in Barnard Housing, please contact Matt Kingston at [email protected].

  • Note: If students want to enter Housing prior to or remain after a sponsorship period, they must register for a full session through the Housing Portal and email [email protected] for additional nights.

The Sponsorship Process

Housing will be billed at $60 per night, the lowest student rate available.

  • Please note, this option is only available for sponsorships whose dates align with summer session dates.
  • The student will be billed directly through SSOL and can access their Housing invoice at any point. Please see the rate structure below for summer session terms for enrolled individual CC/SEAS students.
  • You are not required to submit chart strings, rosters and other supporting information to Columbia Housing.

Departments that choose to submit rosters for spring extensions, summer housing, and early arrivals will be billed $64 per night per student.

  • You are required to submit chart strings, rosters, and payment information to Columbia Housing.
  • Rosters and chart string information are due by April 15 for extensions, spring interim, and summer housing, and by July 15 for fall interim and early arrivals. Please use the form below to submit this information and the roster template for your list of students. Save your roster documents in the event that you need to submit roster changes using the Summer Housing Sponsorship Form – Roster Updates.
  • Note: If students want to enter Housing prior to or remain after a sponsorship period, they must register for a full session through the Housing Portal and email [email protected] for additional nights.
