HERE TO SUPPORT THE UNDERGRADUATE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY
Columbia Housing provides our undergraduate residential students with safe and comfortable accommodations, and a friendly face whenever they have questions or concerns. We're responsible for maintaining the physical integrity, cleanliness and operations of Columbia's 30+ undergraduate residence halls. While we manage a lot of moving parts to keep our buildings in top shape, our number one priority is our undergraduate student residents.
If you are a graduate student seeking University housing, please visit the Columbia Residential website.
The Hospitality Desk, located in the Hartley Hall lobby, is available 24/7 for walk-in support, by phone at 212-854-2779 or email at [email protected] to help with general questions and concerns. For maintenance support in your room or building, open a Service Request with Facilities and Operations at any time.
The Housing Portal is the system where students complete all official tasks related to their Housing, including signing their Occupancy Agreement, registering for Room Selection and Online Check-Out.
Columbia's Facilities & Operations team can assist you with any maintenance issues in your room, suite or residence hall shared spaces. Open a Service Request to report issues as soon as you notice them to help keep your living space safe and functional.
If one of the machines in the laundry room is not working properly, please help out by reporting the issue to the vendor. Please remember that our laundry rooms are shared spaces. Use LaundryView to monitor your wash so you can quickly empty the washer for the next person.
