General Room Selection Registration & More Room Selection Dates

General Room Selection Registration Begins February 19

All students must register their housing intent during the registration period, Monday, February 19 – Friday, March 1, if they:

• Want to participate in selection and choose their AY 24-25 assignment,
• Plan to study abroad or take a leave of absence, or
• Intend to move off-campus.

Students who do not register by 5 p.m. on March 1 will lose your guaranteed housing status and will not be able to participate in Room Selection.

What to Expect

• Register as an individual or as part of a group.
  • Columbia Housing encourages students to participate as part of an even-numbered group to improve their chances of being able to select a room during their appointment time. This is especially important for rising sophomores and juniors.
• Complete registration through the Statement of Intent step.
• After registration ends, groups and individual participants will receive lottery numbers and appointment times. Learn more in the dates section below.
