WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST YEAR AT COLUMBIA
Check-In preparations are underway. This page will serve as your hub for all Columbia Housing Check-In information and will be updated over the summer with important pre-arrival steps and Check-In logistics.
In the meantime, please review the information and resources below. We can't wait to meet you in August!
Bag Drop Option on August 26
Get the heavy lifting out of the way the day before Check-In by participating in Bag Drop! During Bag Drop, students and two guests will have early access to the student's room to move belongings to campus. Bag Drop times will be assigned between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on August 26. The room must be vacated by 5:00 pm. Students will not be permitted to stay overnight Saturday.
The deadline to request Bag Drop has passed. Confirmation of Bag Drop will be provided with the student's room assignment by July.
