To be eligible for residence placement, a student must have met her financial obligations to the College and must be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student at Columbia College.

Full-time is defined as enrollment for 12 or more credit hours per semester or its equivalent. Individual housing eligibility is non-transferable. Resident students fulfilling approved student teaching or internship requirements, or who are in the final semester of their senior year, may not meet full-time enrollment standards, but are eligible for residency during the period. Part-time students may be granted eligibility by the director of residence life.

Students accepted into College residence by the Office of Admissions or Department of Residence Life must complete and submit the following:

Housing Application Health forms and proof of Health Insurance returned to Student Health Services prior to occupancy Room reservation fee Room fee Board fee

Room assignments for new students are made by the Office of Residence Life prior to the beginning of each semester. Upperclass student assignments are made each spring for current resident students through the room selection process.

Each spring semester, all current residents have the option of reserving room assignments for the next academic year by participating in the room selection process. Through the room selection process, students are able to choose their rooms. Seniors have first choice, juniors second, and sophomores third.

Some residence halls are designated with special privileges and therefore require and minium G.P.R. or other eligibility requirements of students who choose to live with those special options.
