Visiting Columbia College students are eligible only for Spring Term Housing.

Learn more about the Visiting Student Program at Columbia.

Apply through the Housing Portal by December 15

The Housing Application opens in November and must be submitted by December 15.

To request access to the Housing Application in the Columbia Housing Portal, Visiting Students must email [email protected]. 

Students will not be considered for housing without an application.

Confirmation & Assignment Notice 

Housing for Visiting Students is not guaranteed and is subject to availability. In late December, students will be notified about the status of their application. 

If a student is given an assignment, they will be housed in an upperclass residence hall. Assignments are based on building preference when possible, and applications are processed on a rolling basis. 

Room assignments will be shared in early January, and Check-In will be held before the start of spring term. Check-In dates will be posted to the Housing Calendar during the fall term.
